excursions to the parallel universe
have been relatively brief.
Expeditions measured in hours,
on rare occasions spilling over into days.
But this! Still not a week,
but so much time away
from usual routine.
"Don't call unless there's blood involved"
seems an unnecessary warning.
Past the point of no return,
they'll have to stem the flow themselves.
We have to steal away
periodically,
giving them a chance to be
and grow and do
without the help they
neither wanted nor asked for,
but needed (we think) so badly.
Giving us eyes to see
how much more we are
than anyone might guess
when viewing us in this world,
where the air is often too thin
for our species' lungs to breathe
deeply.
