Le Vacance Pretentieuse: Going Home
What is it to see the soil of home again? A welcome, snow-struck and a return To cold; sharp white contrasts sunburn. We converse in broken tongues to men We know, hooked on holiday language Comprised of wandering hand signs. Collect the car and pay parking fines, Drive through towns and over a bridge Until we reach the Western gateway. Oh when will we...

Job Hunt
Here I am in town With my sniffing dogs And wearing eagle’s eyes I climb over bomb blasted ruins Searching for survivor jobs From every cornering street My dogs I scatter all over Hoping they will un-earth An opportunity For me to be used But all I hear is only A barking silence I continue to wait and hope That time will lick with a difference For me...

That You Sense My Vibes
That you sense my vibes and moves by it, Doesn't make all my maze the masterpiece, And doesn't judge loyalty and modesty. That you sense my vibes and moves by it Doesn't guarantee pounds and majesty. Call me back when I err. Therefore, That you sense my vibes and moves by it, Doesn't make all my maze the masterpiece....

Observer
A serpent underneath blue sky, in shade of man, in twinkle of an eye, above brick wall, in the structure, at the floor, venom of white dove; contaminated food, undrinkable water, misguided youth, pregnant daughter, unfaithful father and hateful son, mothers do pray while we walk through Babylon; on teli and in the press, on top shells, price none the less, in...

Sally Version 4
Sally's stuffing eggrolls in the back room. Filling them with beansprouts in case they have a boom. Hundreds of these eggrolls piled high for later. Boiled in an oil for each and every crater. Some will go behind the glass warming in a pan; shining in their dipping oil, tempting for a span. Placed upon a plate and shimmied to the side; up against some rice that's deep and...
