It is wrong to work 24 hours in a row
even if during some of it
you're really just marking time.
It is also wrong to be away
from your children
for five weeks.
Right is falling into bed,
before the heat of the day hits,
the sound of crickets and
nothing else.
It is also right
watching your boy through
a window playing pirates
with his best friend
first love
his face brightening
even more when
he notices you.
That's enough for today
that's
enough.
