SEEDLINGS OF WHEAT


seedlings of wheat
grow in a plate by this window

they should be tall enough
in a week from now
in time for Easter
when colored eggs will need a nest

seedlings of hope
grow in this country by the window

they should be tall enough
in a week from now
in time for Easter
when hard-boiled eggs shall fight their best

  1. I get a glimpse of your world, and your hopes through that window. Thank you for giving words of hope, and insight.

  2. Hope and insight
    but also a brave heart
    and love for a country
    and its people
    who lay wounded
    raped so many times
    in complete indifference
