olive branch
so many things need fixing
the car & the dog
torn jeans & hand written letters
a few personalities housing
certain memories
—and of course always
the tip of the iceberg
I keep an olive branch in the freezer
just in case there’s a thaw
in relations
in case the enemy within
(specifically someone without)
manages to find
their way back home
march two thousand twenty-four
