Wil Kavi

No place to hide

If I could steal you out of time,
there would be no place to hide.
 
I would finish what was started
when you left me here to die.
 
It’s not vengeance which I seek,
nor retribution for your crimes.
 
but to grace you with forgiveness,
if I could steal you out of time.

(2014)
