The sign is posted
on the porch
I’ve walked many times
this way before
through seasons warm and cold
but no one appears at the door. -
here we stand
not one Nation under Godfragmented under
a heaving flag
weighted down
by broken partsshredded by knives
with rusted edges
blunted, yet sharp
in grievances -
She is
content to be
where she is
between earth and sky
sipping coffee at a black table
in a white-walled cafe
reading a book
but not quite in the pages -
gossamer touch,
mother strokes her newborn–
feathered beginnings -
