Bright The Way
A Villanelle
Sparks to fire in the darkest night.
Continue on until day.
Remnant it may be but light is bright.
—
Cover wounds to stay in the fight.
No work then no pay.
Sparks to fire in the darkest night.
—
Be ardent while illuminating the site.
You’re paving the way.
Remnant it may be but light is bright.
—
It makes adversities feel alright.
On no account has guided astray.
Sparks to fire in the darkest night.
—
Breathe and hang tight.
Stay on point like ballet.
Remnant it may be but light is bright.
—
Shine even when feeling gray.
An agile mind gets us through tonight.
Sparks to fire in the darkest night.
Remnant it may be but light is bright.

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
