That's That
Must be
the words
she's using,
children
with helpless
little hands.
The Next World
1
Small fires began.
Mothers were accused
of unsuitable compassion.
The paper trembled.
Old people still had time
to sit in a sidewalk café
and look in shop windows.
2
We abandoned
darkness for color.
Everyone was against everyone.
Like a gambler with a bad hand,
she kissed Paul in the rain.
