GO, NO STAY
GO, NO—STAY
Deport those filthy illegals, go call the cops!
But not the brown losers who are picking our crops
We won’t tell them to go
Who else would stoop so low?
And it would cause inflation in our grocery shops

Halloween Harvester
In Halloween week once the days have turned dark
He lurks where the lamplight cannot leave it’s mark
And late night dog walkers whose dogs do not bark
All steer a wide path as he harvests the park
By day he is nought but a grass covered mound
But a light in the night would show flat level ground
His nocturnal

Halloween Harvester of Souls
Halloween Harvester Of Souls
It was October. The time was right, or was it now, or later
It’s all the same to me, stuck here in isolation
Ripe for exploitation
The parents took off to Europe for a spell
My medication makes me swoon
The moon sliced its way into my room and made a pattern.
It appeared to

Musa the Village Honey Harvester
bees make honey-old news
and Musa,
yes Musa, the rugged,
self acclaimed village bachelor harvests honey
his farm has a drone of hives,
bees seem to like him
and for some reason, the village women as well
this day, under a hot tropical sun,
a bunch of old village men sit crouched
the agenda of the day awaits
on one side sits Musa

The Harvester
Out of the lone evening of overgrowth
I come arms laden with stalks
That have dry leaves and no fruit.
My harvest of memory is woeful
And dilapidated,
Besides history's recondite shadows
Keep tripping my speech
There are gaping holes in the past
And in the reconstruction of any vision.
One can only start anew:
The first gospel of my alterity.
Something in the harvest though
Forbids

Harvester
Anger to which I’ve grown
A friend, to me my own
The fear comes creeping close
To claim me as its host
I’m scared, I’m mad
Pining for what I had
Offered, stolen in haste
Makes me think it’s all a waste
Safety, future
Sacrificed unto her
Harvester of sorrow
Beside myself with fear
Paranoid beyond belief
Anticipating the thief
To come and take away
What has stolen so many
