Shards in Broken Time

1.
The little boy lost is my guide,
     The happy one
                    From the orphanage 
     Who misplaced — again — his ID
And fell outside
                    My custody,
A baby — despite everything.

2.
My "dense involvement"
          Is the headline 
     But can I receive
The gift of the chamomile 
     Placed before me
          In a crystal vase?

3.
The large I sees
     What the small I perceives
                      Closer to the ground —
Distinct perspectives 
     Rippling to the infinite.
