Belligerent Poetry
to joy
here is to joy,
may you find it in your sleep.
for if it walks
in the form of another,
you will always view it as endangered.
if you purchase it in gold or sweat or energy,
there will always be a maintenance fee.
if it comes locked in a box,
you may misplace the key.
and if the sun grants it as it shines,
you will be cold come darker times.
yet if it slides behind your eyes when you are unaware,
when you are alone and look to yourself,
you will find it there.
