Sit

I brought a fire extinguisher to the barbecue
to put out the brush fires in your life.
I wanted time for you to relax.

The fires are evidence you care,
that there are people in your life,
that life is, short and complicated.

Let me do some fighting,
spray some suppressant foam.
See if anything calms down,
if we can get time alone.

If we can we can,
if we can’t we can’t.

It’s worth it just to watch you sit down.
I’d work all night to hear
your contented sigh.
