we would have learned much earlier
that riding each other
is THE way to get closer to Home
we would have made you wings
that would have lifted
when spread against time
wouldn’t have given you
so little pocket room
to hold relics for the journey
would not have had you waste time
learning to pray
and would have had you learn more
about singing instead
if we had known
we’d never have left you here
to deal with the night’s sadness
and love’s meteorite scars
we’d have raised you right
we’d have raised you to escape
