All day I've fled my body-now, arrive: throat quaked raw. The same familiar scene.
I guard my loves with hope I don't believe, like my clutched gut moments after his birth made a minefield.
I barter with karma. Use faith to pay for more time, as though The End is Near.
Some dads buy a gun like a prayer reprieve. Papi when I die, will you be alive?
