Defences

by Sanober Khan

I could swim against
the strongest tides

protect myself
from thunderstorms
and earthquakes
diseases
robbers
ferocious
wild animals

I could stand
before
a hostile wind

venture
into a dark maze
of woods
and still
find my
way home

it is words,
poetry, sunsets,
a deep
blue silk voice
mountain scents
someone’s smile, eyes

that I have
no
defences
against.
