The very next day

I see the poet’s luggage

still abandoned beside her door.

We’ll have to move soon,

Doris explains gently.

All diplomats

are required

to go

wherever

peace between nations

is threatened, and peacemakers

of the poetic sort

might be able

to help.

I hear the words

but they make no sense—

My teacher

la poeta

my friend

is leaving?

WAVE AFTER WAVE

Peace is always threatened—

by

bullies.

Murderers.

Xenophobes.

War.

Moving away . . .
