Soledad

Soledad

The Light Her Hands

for every Angel, EMT, and Registered Nurse

Light her step across the room, her

voice steady as a shepherd's staff, her

hands like cool water

her eyes

cool water,

the light

drips from her hands.

La Soledad

I stumble into your morning 

mistake my sorrow

for yours 

The Lonely Scar

You wear it close

to the vest, the rest

you bury under the roof

of your mouth
