It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Infant From Rubble


Turkey Earthquake 2011: Three More People Pulled From Rubble
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/26/turkey-earthquake-2011-rescue_n_1032222.html#s431136

Earth covered in ashes
A painting in shades of gray
Yet you emerged
Pink and sobbing,
From under bricks and wreckage
As if the Earth itself birthed you
Infant pulled from rubble
