Some Word



Some word
we are born unable to touch
such as Hatred:
it means growing on itself
to become as hard as iron
a human-flesh bomb

Some word
we should stay away from in adult
such as Ruins:
piling up like a hill but not a hill
dusty and vast but not like a desert
yet the dead pile up to be a hill
yet tears dry up like gravel

Some word
our children need to preview
in the cradle, under mothers’ breast
to learn a word called Palestine:
it refers to a person without identity
it refers to a country yet

not invented by God.
