We're both so different
Yet both the Same...
The holocaust in Palestine
And little children just dying...
I can't remember when I felt peace
Like a thorn trapped under my skin...
I still reach for you in the dark,
as if habit could summon a ghost...
One hand in his, the other waving
hello to the single-mother neighbor smoking...
Approaching the debris, this was not expected,
A large house beyond was more the right direction...
In the midst of a cooling universe,
we Earthlings...
Typical Saturday morning
I walked out the front door...
Hard to miss a future
We never shared...
It took 3000 tons of asphalt
to stamp out the long-residing...
You woke in the hospital and
for a second the world felt stable...
I can honestly say
And 100% true...
