Broad Sympathies

Sandra
Staton-Taiwo

Your words soared
like flying swords
across a multitude of sympathies,
broad enough to trouble the land
like the oceans in the hands
of the omnipotent
moving upon the face of the waters,
until light exposed
firmaments
dividing divisions
and yet
uniting difference
into dissidence
that shook and mixed the disciplines
into
broad sympathies.
