In stillness
and humbled by the
vastness of a
cloudy sky
I watch her appear
skipping and turning
black hair and bright colors
vibrant in the stormy landscape
parents close by
watch over
the playful dance
pausing
she looks out
toward trees and sky
somewhere
in this country
another brown child
children
toddlers in diapers
now in cages
separated
from
parents
broken hearts
and
souls
fragmented
psyches
thrown
into
exile
Summer 2018
