Sun
from leaving early to the long way
red and white siren
deep cut firm bandage
fever cooling off
we’re tasting progress
rapid electric adrenaline
from peephole to horizon
cloudy sky spits mercury
we need shelter
we build what we can
there’s light and then
there’s a lack of balance
from paw prints to high flight
nothing for nothing
we soar and
we do get caught
trip fall strong legs
we help each other up
from stovetop to pure sun
heart right here
strength beats chemistry
a lot of grime during
the long buildup
we did not break
from deadbolt to skeleton key
steel ribs hurricane wind
our tornado our flood
we climb the fence
together over the wall
persevering through any crash
