The earth has ears, news
has wings. And the stars,
being so far away, no longer
see the need to pass judgment.
*
The pain of the little finger
is felt by the whole body—
So then see how the warm
coffee softens hard bread.
*
If you are going a long way, go slowly.
The rain falls so it can fill the water jar.
No matter how long the procession,
it still ends up in church.
