Where It Begins
A poem about the first image carried by community.
Community begins
with chairs in a circle,
with shared bread,
and the ordinary hour
leaning closer
to listen.
In the street after the storm,
it made help visible.
- Mira Vale

A Trace
A quieter poem about recognizing community in a small detail.
I found a trace of community
inside neighbors calling names,
small enough
to miss,
strong enough
to change the room.
No one had to announce it.
The heart understood.

Steadier
A reflective poem about what remains after thinking about community.
After the word community,
the day did not become simple.
It only grew honest,
clear at the edges,
carrying its weather
with a steadier hand.
