between us, a dog
that’s all
the distance closed
by an airport all-nighter
a bus ride, a walk
a short car trip
two plane flights
the little one, mouth full
of new teeth
sits on my lap watching cartoons
his big brother
home sick today
plays video games
I’m trying to finish these lines
before I fall asleep
one arm around a boy
