a child knows to fall to the ground
when he hears shots fired
he climbs into the dirt road
looking for something to hold
he can't help the tears
remembering those he's loved
taken like this before
landing with hands over his head
listening for anything behind him
and after that exact moment
he runs
and runs
and runs
into his older brother's arms
who knows that he is too young
to live each day knowing
tomorrow might not make it
