smuggle books

         if you must

but with them smuggle compassion

sneak it into your own heart

tuck it between each page

         if you must

dry your tears     

soothe your fears

bare your chest show a breast

bribe the border guards with it

         if you must      

smuggle your heart right out in the open

into the hearts lives souls of others

wear it on your soft sleeve

make your heart an open book

take a page from the wisdom of the ages

         if you must

with patience grasshopper

fellow feeling      

in grace go

with a glad smile's healing tears

a new river is flowing

from these wet books
