There Is Only We

Who worries for the 
Dust under the fingernails of searching hands
Dust brushed from faces of fallen family found
Within the rock-rubble of spilled homes, villages 
How far away is this from here

We worry for the 
Dusty shelves
Fallen knick-knacks
Milk-spills on floors
How long the pretending we share different dust  

Great White Eyes

I wonder while swimming
While swimming with wonder
If
He
With
Nothing but instinct
Sneaked up to me
If 
I 
With
Complete compassion and some kelp
Reached out to him
Would 
He 
Then
Let me touch and soothe
And look deep into
Great
White
Eyes
