Day 40, etc.
Day 25
Hurry! Eat– Hurry!
Dress– Hurry! Brush– Hurry! Shoes–
Morning has broken.
…
Day 34
Woman plodding through.
Girl-child grasps her hand, every
where skipping she goes.
…
Day 39

Precious few years these
children sleep at home; blessed
symphony of breath.
Day 2
Diminishing light
wrenches clank, bind; scaffolds rise.
No view, but no bars.
