sun soaked

apologies

future generations

we were too busy offing the world

and writing apologies

that we didn’t have time

to think of

you and y(our) problems

*

a breath away

from your body

under orange sky

streaking a naked blue

pure

untouched

waiting for the little bit

of an exhalation that’ll

eventually form a cloud

or at least a shape

where you and i

can point to

and say see

the world was born

for us to notice

even if we spend

much of the time

waiting for rain

finding only sun

and realizing that

the yellow wave

drowns before

the waters do
