I Waiting
The radio announced that a tsunami was brewing off the coast of India,
A fisherman's wife waited by the hearth thinking of her Ulysses out at sea.
As sirens tore through the night’s veil, it caused the fire to flicker and die.
II Gift
A stray cloud flew past my window this morning
Soaked in the warm rain of home
Carrying the smells of my mother’s kitchen.
