FROM MY DESK / JUSTIN HATCHETT
Water is soft.
Ask stone
what patience can do.
Skin is soft.
It keeps the organs
from becoming weather.
A voice lowered
can stop a child from hiding.
A hand opened
can end an inheritance.
Do not confuse gentleness
with absence of force.
It is force
that has learned
where not to land.
