Karla Buerkle
Photography and Poem By Kent Richey
Karla No chitchat, no noise, but meaning No isolation, no separation, but connection No dereliction, no seclusion, but inclusion No division, no condemnation, but love With connection to family, community, and others A beacon for all her sisters and brothers Without gender, creed, or color to distinguish 100% chance for love is her wish All people joined to act as a shield Against an invasive dusky field Living life in peace, just imagine If you will this picture Because nothing compares With being seen, being heard Being loved, and being U Nothing compares
