rift


underneath the beauty was a rift

in the heart of the land was a rift

and the rift in the land reached the rift in our heart

and we lost our people and the land…

    I saw you on PBS. I love your poetry. Do you have any poems that are appropriate for elementary school children, particularly regarding Haiti?
