Flames of Song

Tonight moon will write a poem
on my hand
about an almond love.
I find a breeze.

Nightmare : I was caught stealing words
from your lips, a lark
flies into death, paralyzed
by peace!

I will have the baby, I cried
at the insult to a rape
of truth, after the brawl
Pyramid was not made in a day.

Who slept in the arms of ambers?
Look, it was an atomic illusion of a guilt
of centuries. Time walks with bowed head
like a blind man.

Baked brown in heat of wars like 
a salted pistachio, perched high on dry
grass, a swallow watches the rising
lake with no stones floating.

Satish, all babies deserve to be loved, regardless of how they are conceived. I hope this is not a true account, but if it is, you have risen above the sadness in style. Love, Carolyn
