Back Again
She called me at 2 a.m.
asking if I’m okay
a shooting 2 hours away
Just last month I called her,
asking if she was okay,
her city burning
just 2 blocks away
Bernardino to Baltimore
and back again.
two Lives touched
Tragedy too close,
too much,
too measure
Lives taken all together,
all too soon
too often ties bind
Life unbound
divided,
by one.
