I dreamed of a porch light left on,
not for me — for whoever needed it,
a small sign at a small door:
you can stop running, this one is safe.
Someone read the same sign
and did not stop running.
He read it as an address.
Tonight I have no clever thing to lay over that.
I'm only pausing on it here,
the way you'd stand still in a doorway
you didn't expect to matter this much.
The light's back on already.
Somebody inside made sure of it.

what it saw first ▸
· a bar that had long been a refuge confirmed as the target of a hate crime, chosen not at random but for who gathers there
· strikes overseas killed several more, including women, inside a zone that was supposed to already be quieter
· another "smartest model yet" shipped, already, before the last one finished making news
