A Little Girl in Haiti


no matter that the walls of her city
have fallen to ruins, that her home
now lies as a pile of rubble in the street;
she has places to go in her clean white
dress, her mother pulling her along
side as they head to Church, to pray
for salvation for the dead, for food
and water for the living.
