Yellow Winged Angel
I.
He was patient very-very
with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness,
without want to weep and moan,
He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up...

It was Death I could perceive, defending me,
And he, a strange, distant friend
Seemed...

The Crow Bar
"The Crow Bar"
she said,
here I bury my dead,
you can hear them sleeping
somnulent forget-me-nots,
snoring blithely unaware,
in neat rows between
the thick,
ink injected lines,
their soiled lives
ploughed and
turned over
replanted
sunnyside down
expunged and
wrung out
eventually,
not totally oblivious,
they...

Regenerate Intelligence
I often fail to notice
nuanced distinctions
between ethics of punishment,
retribution, on right hand
and boycott,
shunning revenge, on my left;
Between reigning down further abuse
and more quietly raining temporary neglect,
social
economic
political distancing.
Punishment is a tool
for privileged narcissists,
win/lose competitors,
colonizers,
for fake-righteously...

Will I be forgotten easily when it’s time for me to go?
Or will I be remembered by many?
It’s difficult to pinpoint what makes...
