have no doubt in me, before you go
have no doubt in the wisdom you’ve told me
we went for tacos 3 times a week
in a pattern of comfort, as if we traveled out of the country
returned a year later, your health deteriorated
the sorrow of fatigue
they saw us with the will and the hope in their eyes
to handle, to handle god’s given path
to grasp the hope he gives us
communication breaks down all the patterns of distrust
reveal it, to each other
before this divide pressure breaks us all apart
