evening chill —
a homeless child cuddles
the old teddy bear
a homeless child cuddles
the old teddy bear
refugee camp . . .
the cricket chirps
in the broken vessel
the cricket chirps
in the broken vessel
(Absolutely powerful and haunting.)
broken walkie talkie —
a refugee child dials
the emergency number
a refugee child dials
the emergency number
threadbare blanket
the cold wind weaves
through the bones
the cold wind weaves
through the bones
pellet gun shooting
a homeless child connects
the red spots
a homeless child connects
the red spots
