Legacies

blame finds shelter in the

anger we have for ourselves,

released and redirected

relative to the consequence;

friends become enemies

enemies become distant

memories of friendships as

the life we know continues;

birds, not humans, fly

uniformly towards a destination,

regardless of their politics or the

inflight consumption of alcohol;

we are dangerous souls on

dangerous missions of neglect,

seeking gratitude and redemption

for all the legacies left behind.
