a-string

sugar

when i burned my clothes
the black left
was white right
white light

and please, stay
see refugee camps are temporary
like statutory
stone certainty

i could say
in the night i wonder
if i’ll have no roots like yours
after all this trouble to dig
if i’ll find only twigs
and you’d say i was wrong, that’s
not at all how it would go
and i’d hope so
