sympathy poem

their beautiful hair
are you awake?
a blue-black nubian plucking oranges
she limps with halting painful pace
in your flight
i wonder where you live
the little white prayers
look back with longing eyes and know that i will follow
these hearts were woven of human joys and cares
under dusky laurel leaf
a gleam of gold in gloom and gray
do not turn your head
