He Gazes From Above

Robert Fabre

He gazes from above
and watches the ants go scurrying along the pavement.
He lifts his shoe
and obliterates their motion with a paralyzing thrust.

He searches the clouds/
the raindrops are falling like droplets of pus.
She sees a figure/
A silhouette of motion captured in the fog.

They cup their hands/
supplicating sounds raised to an ancient God.
They press their beads/
the child with the empty stomach cries to sleep.

The girl is found
lying in the wash like a tossed out doll.
Down the road
a finger waves for a passing car.
