Little girl

​Little girl, I am sorry to say 
that I never knew you until
I read your name in the news. 
 
You dreamed I can assert
of those futures all design
within the walls of a fortified
neighborhood near the city. 
 
What made you change your mind
on that somber Wednesday evening
at the onset of a promising new year
when you abandoned all your hopes. 
 
I never knew you, yet we could have been friends 
it is too late now, that you sleep in a world
perhaps better made for you whom I never knew
but I miss you little girl and give you my sorrow.  
The author is Fabrice Poussin. Poussin’s poetry and photography work has appeared in hundreds of magazines worldwide. Most recently, his collections In Absentia, If I Had a Gun, Half Past Life, and The Temptation of Silence were published in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, by Silver Bow Publishing.
