Millet Curtain

No one said he had AIDS.
He lay on the dirt
like a small child without a pillow.

We didn’t know how much he
could understand our greeting
from beneath his groaning nothing-blanket;
we did it for his mother’s grateful eyes.

Maybe he could hear us
from behind the millet curtain,
greeting the elderly lady who
fed him and maybe who
dressed him, sometimes.

Today he has remembered to put on underwear.
But even the long loose shirt cannot hide
every rib we count, his face
sunken to reveal the cheek bones,
jaw bones, white teeth, red eyes,
skin thin-stretched over bones and shrinking organs.

The woman says he is sick.

you thought...

Aha! You all thought I died. You thought that I would never write on this blog again. You thought that I had gone 100% technology free. You thought my fingers were in a finger accident and unable to type. Or that I'd gone back to school and have no time.

You were wrong, except for the school part. My fingers are well, but that I'm getting a callous from using a pencil so much. And my guitar callouses are fading away. So sad.

I am back in school, and it is where I am to be for awhile yet.

Tonight I watched the sunset from my window, over the Rocky Mountains. I know I often complain about the mountains obscuring the sunsets and making them wimpy. But not today. This was one of the most vibrant sunsets since I watched the huge red sun set over the Molli rice fields. It wasn't a plains sunset, but the orange sun made a cloudless sky pink and tangerine, my view only obstructed by a small pine that almost blocked out the city and gave me the sun. I was silent from the time it touched the mountaintop to the moment it was behind and invisible. I thought of you, Brandy. I though of you.

I hope you are all doing amazing and please, email me or write to me. I will give you my address if you ask for it! Much love, MillieJo/Malika

I'm going away for a week or two

Hey everyone. I'm going away for a couple of weeks. I'll be in the mountains, enjoying God and ministering to Jr. High and High School kids at Camp Salvation.

I hope your summers are all going fine. I may share about camp when I get home if I feel like it. If you call me this weekend, I'll be able to talk on Saturday!
