Description's Care

By disobeying it, so holding it
In abeyance, the care of description
Can calm and educate rash judgement
So pulling the teeth of premature closure

With its damaging and limiting bite
That won’t allow transformational shades
Of doubt and difficulty to rise like mist
From the barrens of what we thought we knew

Description imitates as means to start
To form the lines of questioning that slow
The rush of thought, let it deliberate
To free itself from accustomed shackles

Guards freedom, a single detail can jar
An entire empire that seemed eternal
