Embraces
Between the poems
Embraced are
The alphabet letter
Between the river's arms
Embraced are
The lands in the deltas.
Between the mothers' arms
Embraced are
The suckling babies.
Between the windows' arms
Embraced are
The dead husbands gone suddenly.
Between the closed tight lips
Embraced are
The cries of horror towards heaven.
Embraced are
The alphabet letter
Between the river's arms
Embraced are
The lands in the deltas.
Between the mothers' arms
Embraced are
The suckling babies.
Between the windows' arms
Embraced are
The dead husbands gone suddenly.
Between the closed tight lips
Embraced are
The cries of horror towards heaven.
