dress up
fold up pieces of paper
into leaves
small bits
your mouth
doesn’t take
time to chew
make the
highway stretch
longer
for blurry eyes
attempt to
then explain
yourself
in humility
bow
in yr mind
don’t hold
malice
don’t shake hands
with a hurricane
do not hesitate to
clean your house
I feel their
sorrow in
the air
scratch open blood loss
fills floor tiles
mess of battlefield
do not visit someone else’s battle
what is this?
what is the sound
of one hand
with prayer beads?
our big step
is to think well
of each other
he boiled water
he burned the scholar
she worked
in the garden
was good to
her husband
lived through
all the plagues
a hand lifted her
over
