WHO COUNTS THE PEOPLE AFTER THE TENTS ARE COUNTED?

The last tent enters the report.
The street is marked clear.

Who follows the person
carrying a blanket beyond the count?
Who knows where the wheelchair stops
when evening comes?

On the Jericho road,
mercy approached the wounded man
and undertook the cost
of his next morning.

Let the city follow that road.
Let every recorded removal
carry a question that remains open:

Where will this neighbor sleep?
Who will remain within reach?

The report is finished.
The night is beginning.

Who counts the people
after the tents are counted?

Let someone stay
until the answer becomes a door
the neighbor can open.
