AW: Joelle's poem--small revision

[Visuelle Protokolle]

thank you so much for your poem, Joelle

Reinhard


Let me just correct a couple of lines that suffered in the e-mail
transmission:

Thanks,  Joelle


    I'm breathing the smoke

    of gunshots, mortars, missiles,

     and oil wells burning.

     I'm stirring in the night,

     hearing children crying
    and mothers keening.

    The soft spring breeze

    has the grit of desert sandstorm.

    The night sky is torn by explosives,

    cut by the arc of a missile.

    There's no place far enough

     to put my heart at ease.


    Can I buy another chance?


     I want to refuse to take sides.

     I want to imagine a world

     more spacious and more intimate.

     I want the courage to buy

     homes and meals and schoolbooks

     instead of guns and tanks

.

     I want to be peace, wild and fierce and sweet.



April, 2003

 Joelle Lyons Everett
