tonight, up there

2.

have you felt that the sun, the
great earthwarmer itself (oh, but think about
what is has helplessly endured! the trans-
formation of nations that once had no
bones or landmines 'neath their soils, blood
daggers digging through the roots of all
innocent.

the curses and ignorance of little
ants with different colored faces and
hair, keeping them warm without speech. the
staggering loss of hope brought by the
icebergs and glaciers--water was
meant to flow pristinely.

and of course, the loneliness. even if
we wanted to kiss the sun, to show
it our tears, to explain that humankind
is worth saving...)

has the patience of
a million sages?
