Tiny Women

Martha Collins

The tiny women

muster（集合，检阅） green, leaf

They do not celebrate more

They will not hill or pillow

The tiny women slip

under doors, window

walls, disturb

They forage time, rest

at attention, stir

up stalled air

Together, they lift

dust, ashes, build

In breaks they

see through

(there there)

The tiny women do

not walk on air

They tread light
