A POEM ABOUT SMALL THINGS

After writing poems
about geopolitics,

of the war crimes
blessed and approved,

of crimes against humanity
that bring forth adulation,

I write of small things,
about a mug of coffee

with milk and no sugar,
of a cheese sandwich

beside it on the table
at the far corner of the room,

that I just read ten pages
from a dead American

Nobel Prize in Literature
winner, and that soon,

in the light of this pale
morning of March,

I shall sleep, awakening
if I will, into early evening,

into the last light in the dusk
before the night returns.
