Description You could never be strangers again
in that void of charged space
between the eyes and the air.
And the other people, who are
less than faces in the crowd.

Maybe it was a true dream of
dark times, always walking,
you are thief protected by gloss
that they could break
if only they knew how.

The lion at the zoo could
jump the fence, the wolves
could dig beneath the glass.

Safety is a mutual ignorance,
and it is something to be reminded
through wilds of the woods,
that she has fangs
and so do you.

I like to think that everyone, everything is kindly, kindly. But it really does have a way of surprising you when they lash out and you flare up. I totally dig this. We'd do well to remember how capable we are of hurting and causing hurt.

When you say 'gloss' do you mean 'glass' or am I missing a metaphor? Beautifully profound, as always.

I actually mean gloss, though in context it has a similar meaning
