Fear of rats
When I came to my friend’s house,
Doors were open he sat crying in a corner.

Saw a rat on the kitchen table eating butter.

Some animals have a streak of humour
They often...Read More

When life happens
I would grab a pen and starts writing
In a piece of torn paper
Or the palm of my hand
I'd feel better then
Consoled and relieved and

I'd make a quick taharah
Grab a...Read More

Mirror
by Kajal Ahmad, a Kurdish poet
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

My era's obscuring mirror
shattered
because it magnified the small
and made the great seem insignificant.
Dictators and monsters filled its contours.
Now when I breathe
its jagged shards pierce my heart
and instead of sweat
I exude...Read More

Since Abel was able. That is...Read More

High Powered Fences, 
Beyond Your Vote

Armchair Politian's sitting beside Ceasar(a),

Rot is strong, coming from the corpses. 

They point thin-sharp fingers,
and...Read More

Armies
A general so proud
Now he is burned to crisp
And we are told by a cowardly press to rejoice.
Revenge!

Believe in this useless rust machine.

as they will have failed...
to do all that was needed, 
and asked of them. 
Perhaps not their fault, 
as in Venezuela... 
they...Read More

Such Tenderness
by Michael R. Burch

for the mothers of Gaza

There was, in your touch, such tenderness—as
only the dove on her mildest day has,
when she shelters downed fledglings beneath a warm wing
and coos to them softly, unable to sing.

What songs long forgotten...Read More

two kids named
ahmad and stan

each in his world 
loved reading Peter Pan

their dreams broken
down by the khazarian plan

they fell for their division

United by same grief and
pain

so abrupt was journey's life

a sudden end of...Read More

Trust in yourself
If you trust others, they do so
Out of self-interest
Not what is best for you.
To be a follower is dangerous
When you wake up naked
And nowhere to go but follow
The stream. Give up.
Making you unhappy and discontent
A deep-seated irritation
Of a...Read More
