The Spread
Limit the news
and blood still
seeps under our door
through the silence
crying peace, peace
when there is no peace
We awake in comfort
when those others don’t
We feast to celebrate
when others can’t
All the while what
else to do but be
kind to one’s own
kind and to all yours
out there where
kindness needs
most to spread
