The Sock Drawer - 41. Two Lizards In The Sun

This is from March 14th 2018 and has a specific personal background and meaning.
But of course, feel free to interpret it in any way that fits.

Two Lizards In The Sun

(14/03/18)

 

I am not quite done baking

And likely I will never be done.

But at some point during waking

this cake will sit out in the sun.

 

It will sit there, ripe for the taking,

You will smell it, feel its crust –

but until then I will settle for faking,

and I know you will see why I must.

 

It will not be a tragic unmaking,

it will not cause a parting in shame.

You'll be hurt and your trust will be shaking,

but you will still love me the same.

 

The two lizards, there is no mistaking,

will look at the setting sun

together, steadfast, never breaking,

together until night has won.
