raining nights
in bloody 1846 ...
a Mexican yells out
we didn’t cross the border
the border crossed us

Biting NOT Barking: Shelter Tanka by Marion Alice Poirier
-
*English Original*
under the shelter
of a weeping willow tree
she sleeps at last
on damp earth and newspapers --
a haven, for one night
Marion Alice Poirie...
