A little girl
Fresh out of Haiti
Bullied
Teased, punched and kicked
Scared and scarred
Yet well mannered
Blue she wore “going on a date?
Ms. Greene giggles and smiled

The Surety of LoveWould you march in haste

Or defy the abyss of an oceans

That this is surely LOVE…………………

The bleached and waxen folds
Of my buttoned-up,...
