It Will Take Decades to Fix What These Republicans Have Destroyed

I kneel by the ash heap of my country,
pulling out the charred bones of laws
once tender with purpose. A womb,
a book, a vote—each gutted clean
by men in ties who grin as they light
the match, who quote scripture
as forests burn and children cry
in cages built from policy.

My daughter will not inherit
a peace I once believed in.

The Early Years

She is to entertain 20 people
I fried up 20 cucumbers 
5 lbs. Of okra
In a grit and Parmesan cheese
And bits of bacon in the batter
Some spices, mace, cayenne , paprika
Garlic and onion powder in the

I roasted a teriyaki style pork loin
And sliced it thin with commercial
Mixer, I mean

Only More Time Can Fix Me Now

The foot of the table
rose up to adjust the shape of my chin.

It was a glooming, looming 3 a.m.
when I saw the bedside clock
through that pitch dark
that occurs at the back of an eye
when time is a few decades too slow.

The table has put itself together
once more,
bought from IKEA, it took two days
to assemble, and

In a Fix

      To fix with a hug or a kiss 
         means nothing much was amiss

      When hammers and nails are required
         ~ the problem is truly dire

My January Fix Brought February's Kick

8x8x8x8 Poetry Contest
Charles Messina


So here we are in the new year
Throw confetti wishes and cheer
January opened its doors nicely
Merry old me entered modestly
Shook the monkey off my back
Took his banana in place of a snack
How losing a few pounds inspires
Now I can climb the tree of desires

I Didn't Fix the Faucet

I didn't fix the faucet.  I didn't fix the door.
I had a little mishap going to the hardware store.
Now, I'm going to the fields where golden geeses lay.  
In that land of Eden, they got no faucets anyway.

We can fix him
We can fix her
We can fix them
We can fix the car
We can fix the cat and dog

SO WHY CAN’T WE FIX OURSELVES?????

Fix me change Fix you change

Words never to be uttered to another
Fix you. 
Fix me? Fix you? Change? 
For whom? Society? 
Why for? Because i’m abnormal?
Abnormal to whom? Society? You?

Words never to be uttered to another.
Change you. Change me? 
For whom? Society? 
What for? So that i can be “normal?”
Normal for whom? Unknowns? 

Fix? Change? Me? You?

I am me.

Thing's I Can Not Fix

The hardened heart, a fortress cold,
No warmth within, no hand to hold.
A rigid mind, like stone it stays,
Unyielding through unnumbered days.

The eyes that turn from beauty's grace,
Blind to the sky, the moon's soft face.
The trees that whisper, bushes sway,
Their emerald song fades into gray.

Your look, the storm within your eyes,
A tempest where no solace lies.

Fix

I broke my brain again
to see if I can still fix
defective ideas I held
fallacies that I believed
the process is very hard
I have to cut a string
and let myself fall 
as deep as I can reach...

Then I go to grab my hand
to try to wake me up
to check if I'm still ok
and drag me from the

1. Add me to your collection, darling,

The TBR list of women who claim they can fix you.

Later, they escape when they realize this is too real.

It was one-sided loathing, the way you loved me.



2. In your arms, tell me about the way he punched you

Whenever you acted out of line.

Remind me of

JESUS IS THE FIX-

I awaken eyes wide open;
But before I rose, I was hope;
Yet I already knew that I was pursued;
I already knew I was no longer broken;

Unlike the drugs, Jesus is a fix;
Unlike humanity, Jesus is the fix;
More than your mama, daddy;
Unlike the pastor and the church;
When you hurt Jesus is a fix ;

his mother could not fix it this time

he was ambitious
driven to succeed
stepping on others toes
smashing their fingers
stomping on their feelings

he was determined
single-minded
it was all about him
he had to get ahead
he had been pushed by a zealous mother
who always fixed things for him

he had never been responsible
for his own actions
for his obsessive behaviors
for hurting others
this time was different
his mother could not fix it
