Chasms
Differences
They are both fine
Accept what is and the exceptions you make in your home are up to you
They are your business and being carefully taught remains the same
You can be outspoken but learn that religion and politics topics have their place
That is my credo and I live by it
To break free peace and respect work together
Kindness rules not hatred
If you have nothing nice or important to contribute than say nothing

I want to see the northern lights
but I cannot say why

it is said that sometimes
if conditions are right
you can see them from here

but it never seems to work
for me

even if the sky is clear
I cannot see them
when I am told I might

others say they have seen them here
I don’t think I believe them

some set a camera
on very long exposure
to take their picture

I can’t stare at the sky
for a very long time
all at once
like a camera

maybe I want to see them
because I haven’t seen them before

there are other things I want to see
but never have

like the life I was meant to have
with you

maybe if I’d had
a better camera
Everyone is an orphan where compassion is absent.
The stars giggle
Drunk on the dust
In the Milky Way
They tip over
Turning a fall into a dip
When I squint
I see you just like this
Dancing at the end of a stick

I would like to say
I wake up in the morning
Refreshed and ready
But I just squint through the light
Pouring through my window
Trying harder and harder to see you
As you disappear
