============================================================

A child sleeping

on her back

a child sucking

on dry breasts

a third stumbling

at her side

all her possessions

delicately firmly
balanced

on her head

a refugee woman

from
Rwanda

 

a child sleeping

in her lap

rocked by the gait

of the sure footed
ass

her loving man

walking ahead

a refugee woman

from
Galilee.
