crossing over
it’s not going to end well if they can’t cross the river
son saying independence day is any day now
daughter stitching an eye back in dolly
they built sutliff bridge where they did for good reason
having been damaged only recently
the local astronomer sends them another way
it’s either a death trap or the ultimate tipping point
& though contradictory on the surface
what happens next makes perfect sense
april two thousand twenty-two

This makes me think of the millions of people forced to leave their homes, putting their faith in chance.
It’s so very sad, really. Thank you for commenting on this piece.
