Pause… Breathe… and Click

Exile

Exile w 3

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
