Loners…

All that left
to be on its own
do not suffer.
Unlike creepers
that need support
to spread & stand,
deep-rooted,
tall standing
loner trees,
actually
arent in agony…

Guise…

In moments of
unbeknownst outlaws
shedding the shackles,
we pick up
our magnifiers
to pass judgments.
In such moments
we also don’t
forget to check
our holy blankets
beforehand…
