two worlds disjoined
your feet far apart
two inches a year
a hundred miles at heart
may you gain courage
enough to choose a side
absolve yourself of this double life
leave the rift behind
may the ash dissipate
so you may see clear
that our love for you stretches
across the lithosphere
it's not your fault
you had no choice
where to begin
but if you must,
show
them
with grace,
the volcanoes within

two worlds disjoined
your feet far apart
two inches a year
a hundred miles at heart
may you gain courage
enough to choose a side
absolve yourself of this double life
leave the rift behind
may the ash dissipate
so you may see clear
that our love for you stretches
across the lithosphere
it's not your fault
you had no choice
where to begin
but if you must,
show
them
with grace,
the volcanoes within
for a dear friend // may peace be in your future
