Lightning can’t fix us, smoke fills lungs faster
than a blink holds.
See? I know every senseless thing.
Compulsion closed her in,
echoes of a popped branch and dust gathering
heart are parroted back
swaddled by arms, firm signs that there were helmed fierce
early hugs and bygones caring that tucked
itself between the vanishing
now spare the time to ask in simplicity
call me child again
