Weight

a wonder so much
loneliness can pack
into that frail little frame

if loneliness has a weight
she would be carrying
a hundred times what
she is doing now

a wonder how much
human warmth and friendship
can lighten everything up
even at the worst crisis

she feels herself light as
the song of a spring bird
whenever he is around
