be careful,
some, caution:

there’s risk
they may imprint on you
and never fledge

be careful,
i, caution:

there’s risk
i may imprint on you
you may imprint on me

and one day, we will know
severed skies / severed from each other

you will fly, and, i will stay

yet, we will never fully-fledge
from
the acute nourishment, the acute hunger

from the enduring gravity

of
each other
