The Edge of Lonelinessmarginalized
again
just a widow
whose family is grown
no longer a central figure
overlooked
forgotten
until something
is expected from me
then parameters shift
I am needed, anticipated
counted on for help
until that window in time
passes
then
marginalized
once more
prioritized
off the grid
of life
~
is it any wonder
I gravitate
to the one who supports me
appreciates me
listens
with his heart...

PossumsOn the road - a possum family
all quickly slaughtered together.
There is something about their crushed bodies
strewn according to size and age as they are.
The whole family pretending to be dead,
even now in deaths squash
still seeking inconspicuousness.
I recall those monochrome pictures
of holocaust atrocities.
The thin bodies,...

Ode To AthenaAthena
the dutiful daughter standing behind her father
in lightning thick with aegis assurance
read to protect her family
and counselling them times of need
Athena, the grey eyed goddess
who watches carefully with graceful wisdom
coercing ignorance into obliteration
solutions fly into her hands
for her to dispense and she desires
Athena of the...

Spring Garden PrepSPRING GARDEN PREPARATION (20150213)
After the winter season
But before the rains begin
Catalogues of heirloom seeds
Delivered just in time
Earmarked and prioritized
Farmer’s Almanac consulted
Given planting periods
Horoscopes included (but useless!)
Individual seed varieties ordered
Junk mail shredded and added to compost
K (potassium) added as potash
Lumber purchased for trellises
Mulching around transplanted seedlings
Non-Genetically...

No Longer AskingI asked for honesty
.........I got filled with lies
I asked for genuine
.......I got a guy with a disguise
I asked for consideration
........I got deliberately ignored
I asked to be prioritized
........I got my ego floored
I asked for laughter
........I got eyes full of tears
I asked for a good...

It's a Crying ShameGeorge Washington would never believe it and call it a crying shame. I have observed the prohibition of prayer in public schools. Free speech is not free but is for sale to the highest bidder. Moreover, there is an attitudinal atmosphere suggesting that any speech...

It's For RealYoung girl
Playing with her dolls-
Pretending as her babies
Singing a lullaby
For them to silently fell asleep
Waking them up...feeding...caring...
Acting as a mother...
But,that was before
Now,a young lady
A woman
Only at sixteen
Carrying another life
Life of unexpected reasons
Product of violence and ignorance
A young single mother
Just playing a while ago
Now,PREGNANT!
Carrying a baby
It's...

The Perfect Christmas GiftBusy streets and shopping spree.
People were so naive of what gift to give.
Is it fancy bags or jewelries?
A huge toys or high end gadgets?
Everything that's worth and the best.
The best of the worthiest.
Price tags must be prioritized.
Empty pockets were left behind.
The season of hope...

Fr Time's Bicameral HomilyTime echoes and resonates
without language,
successfully invests
in green ecstatic backdrop,
below misty blue sky
Spotted and splashed Earth space,
blossomed in round yellows and spindling purples
soft blues and flaming orange
Fragile
naked moments of fully fertile tone
bilateral shapes and colors
Flagrant erections
of next generation's timely hope
for full-hued health regeneration
Perennially...

Kukhu NaliakaKukhu Naliaka today, I must echo your heroine
For your successful motherhood, you carried a dozen
Despite the fact say, your belly needed food
Truly you sacrificed full, to carry my father then
While many thought of, bread blue band and tea
My dad you fed of, products of your...
