To the quake victims

The tail of the red toy truck can be seen.

If there is any pair of innocent hands

to play with the toy, there is no mind.

Or body.

He holds her quite and tightly. The debris

lies before them where a little body

is still confined. May be, still alive. Oh!

He knows now, how hard it is to lose hope.

ok this time you made me cry...

i love reading your poetry

[theplate]

i don't think 'victim' when i think natural disaster... that word always has connotations of trickery. i do like your poems, i do like them, i do. & that picture of you is some kind of haunting.
