Pliable, pliant, no hard edges because
What's hard will be broken and me
And my soul are no exception.
How soft, how sweet, how
Well tempered? Temperate, charming,
Taut and tired: keep calm, keep bright
But be mindful of the light, show
Only what you are allowed to present.
Be present, but not impactful.
Be helpful, but give no direction.
Pliable, pliant, because the softer you are
The more the world and its grubby nails
Gloss your skin instead of tearing it.
