Two birds dancing in the dust.

Back when I was
young, strong, and stupid
I used to haul
two bags of concrete at once
over my shoulder
during hungover Saturday side-jobs.

That's how I knew
I could lift you
this morning

though now
at twenty-six
I'm no spring chicken
and no wiser
for the scars.

Two wrongs don't make a right
but three lefts do.

I'm sorry about tomorrow.
