what to bring to death valley

as the last log

burned to coals

the disappointment of ash

stalled me like red

break lights in a traffic jam

i waited all night

for an apology

an acknowledgement

that in the lanes of friendship

sometimes the distracted veer

transgress a median

a joke crashes headlong

into a family history

are you not impacted

are you not concussed 

is there an excuse

worth a windshield 

it seems you regret only

the slowdown
