They say the sun sets
when the world runs away
four hundred sixty meters a second
how fast would you run just to say
“this isn’t my responsibility”
at least until the dawn beckons.

Family
We are open soars exposed for healing
our scabs peeled back and aired out
all risk with no defense or safety
from those who know our weak points
They burn with hot iron and fire
or soothe with cool salve and care
without them surely wounds would fester.
