Tethered – After Rise Against, Satellite (a golden shovel poem)

I will always be beside you. I’m 

sure you know by now, as the world is passing 

in it’s blur, you will catch me looking over 

at you, smiling to remind you 

that you are my choice– like 

a child chooses the green ball from a

red topped dispenser. — I’ll be your satellite 

spin around in your own space. So 

don’t worry with my need to fly– you won’t catch 

me slipping free of my jesses. You’ll find me 

at the end of these leather leads, and if 

you always want me, I always promise I 

will dive from the sky — trust you to catch me as I fall.
