Picture Four

jude
stay out of sight
do not befriend the light.
someone there is
that does not care for you
it’s like in a coup
you do not know who
to trust.
hide behind yourself
not behind your mother
not behind the door
not behind your god
these have been known to fail
do not sneeze.
do not allow your sweat drops
lead them to your river.
be still
