Had a very, very long day. Wrote this on the bus.
It's for the boy who had an even longer day today than I did.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
TOGETHER IN THIS
The brave facade of a hearty laugh
And snaking arms seek comfort
Ripple the bedrock of mere days
As the corners leak and the paint,
Decaying around us, flakes and peels
And flutters down to the once-rotless carpet.
Only we two are holding
This little world of ours
Up, and together, and defended from those
Trying to break down the safety
Constructed in our
Two-man barricade.
Stare at the stars and reach out your hand.
Distance is inconsequential.
Our fingers will meet.
