there they were (25/30)

There they were

as prominent as god made them

as delicate as life prepared them.

Her eyes deep and lucid

mind uncertain .

There’s a heart in her arms

a mallet in his

that he knew nothing of at first

because to him he came second to them.

She attempted flight

But each time she jumped she failed

and he was there to catch her

as he had seen her fall before.

Though the two scars on her back confirmed her failure

Time after time

he caught her knowing fate

In no other way.
