POETRY: The Blessing of the Least/God on the 1 Train

The Blessing of the Least/God on the 1 Train

 Madre de dios
 Your hijo in one arm
 a sign of the times in the other
  
MOTHER. LOST MY JOB. HUNGRY. 
HELP ME. FEED MY CHILD

of God whispers una bendición
 I can't hear through my headphones
Avicii spinning
as the blessing of the least settles on my skin
resurrecting goosebumps
I have never received a truer bendiction
Gracias a Dios
que me bendiga

Feed us all.

Amen.
