Today I read
ignorant words
from those I thought
my people.
Replying, I do not mind
how sharp I am.
Who cares if it hurts!
They're wrong!
Today I hear
voices crying
into an empty receiver.
If we could only listen,
perhaps we could find it --
a door through sorrow.

Powerful, and all the more so for its comparative brevity.
