Be kind to her who doesn’t know
What snow is; my world is under snow.
Be kind to her who doesn’t understand
The body; I found my brain in my hand.
Be kind to her who thought men
Might possibly make her happy again.
Be kind to her who thought the sky
Was clouds; it rains and I ask why.
Be kind to her who doesn’t see
Advice, advice that’s freezing me.
Be kind to her who doesn’t feel
Brutal cold; freezing to me is real.
Be kind to her who made her face
Every face; And I? I have to think of my race.
Be kind to her who understood
Nothing; I am trapped by the good.
Be kind to her who said she had
A new work; an old one made me sad.
Be kind to her who thinks the new
Is always new; I hate I saw and grew.
Be kind to her who thinks
Water hides; I am the water she drinks.
Be kind to her who let others
Sort it out; I am speaking to my brothers.
Be kind to her who was better than us all.
Her name is jealousy; jealousy made me fall.
