I swear
promise the door, safe passage, your open palm
promise the chair, forgiveness to broken thoughts
promise the stairs, not to scuff your feet or toes
promise the child, everything that is this world
promise sky, blue, and your good breath
promise the sea, your life like tide
“I do.” Promise you!
