Here are the days of small things by Dorisa D. Costello

Ioana Motoc

Here are the days of small things

a cup of cold water, a blanket

for a cold night, a kiss

to warm cold comfort

We were warned against

their neglect: the gathering

together, the breaking

of bread, the fatherless

and widowed and alien

the small things, the 

least ones, make

our days salt and light:

a small grain a tiny flame
