Harp string dew

.

And sea-green condensation -

.

. 

How against my better judgement it is

.

To rely on the reticence of rescue, or

.

To defer to the halo of an angel when

.

I’ve already a pair of wings for myself.

.

. 

It’s against what I’ve been taught

.

To ask for that - what’s gotten me this far

.

Hasn’t been to urge it from another.

.

. 

“I don’t need a lifejacket.”

.

. 

I say, to the little cherub with its ringed, red preserver.

.

.

“After all, just because I’m treading water”

.

“Doesn’t mean I’ve suddenly forgotten how to swim.”

.

"And nor, especially, does it mean that I'd still intend"

.

.

"To permit myself to drown instead."

.
