Why Am I HereSpelunking inside her mind,
searching for the answer she cannot find.

For I...

Trench Town of Cicerothe reasoning the fishing in the trenches
beyond tire swings and monkey wrenches
follies crawl behind the hanging logos
of unseen filth across 124th street
tassels dangled above an oasis
of fine dining and soiled linen
over the board rooms covered

Lament For Shams1. Shall I narrate you a tale or may be a thousand stories,
Of a lost love and fervent devotion?
Or chronicles of longing and separation?
Mayhap I, relate both as you wish, open your eyes and give me your ears.
2. For I hear no serenade and diversion...

past the woodstorck...

Untouchable Cantos That day that way we met
the nightingale sang while
whooping cranes bowed
their heads the sun danced
between the blue skies as
the clouds rushed by I

way you walked the way
you smiled that funny
way you dazzled me...

Defamiliarization MindI never understood this condition
