1.
The bus stops
at a scrubby forest edge
about to devour everything.

2.
Slow down.
Look again.
There are people in that rubble.

3.
A Roma girl,
hair as dark as night,
eyes the color of hope.

4.
Among the ice cream vendors and
peddlers of water and soda all along the Danube;
a fire, unquenchable.
