All the Children


ALL THE CHILDREN

some of them break my heart
and i don’t care
if it sounds
hackneyed or trite,
some of them break my heart.
the doe sleepless eyes
from the fortyyearold twelve year olds,
the porous cries of the noisiest silent ones,
the bruise in the apple that softens the crate of them,
                                                            some of them,
all of them,
break my heart.
