safety

i live in this
topsy turvy world
where things are never 
what i think they will be
a life lived on a fault line
and it's usually mine
even when it's not
a world where grief
sneaks in and grabs me 
by the throat
and I fall silent 
and cannot catch my breath
a world where
the defense always
seems to rest
never having bothered
with a burden of proof
that this world of mine
is anything other than
the home version
of the most dangerous game
so i long for safety
