LEAVE IT ALONE

Perhaps 
to explain away a feeling 
this exact 

by way of a lifetime 
that's far less so

is to come to 
blunt blows 
with a formidable mustang 

in the vain hope 
of taming it
and riding it home;

whereas
to just name it
and give it some space—

is to meet it 
halfway 

with a carrot.
