Autumn AtonementFace to the sky,

Woven with earthy Autumn,
Saturates the alveoli of my lungs,
Pouring raw impulses into the neurons of
My pleasure centers, so triggering a myriad of
Memories ... the demurring requiem to summer tide...

I want so badly to fly my competing belief kites,
and...

Unspeakable JoyThere are wrinkles
Now, lines erasing a past
Where the fine contours of her face
Were drawn, in color
Crisp, clean lineages from
Time echoing hope,
Soothing away the fragments
Reality connecting the dots,
Gentling the descent
From her youth to the present
Moment,...

Sheep.
Magpie.
Mule deer.
Mustang, colt, mustang...upon the ridge.
Eagle's nest, bald.
Oreo cows, in far field.
Running baby cows.

Controlled burn, left quiet;
but not, as it turned out,
without embers enough
to catch to flames
and race up the Sierra,
down the...

Kajal Ahmad Translations KurdishMirror
by Kajal Ahmad, a Kurdish poet
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
My era's obscuring mirror
shattered
because it magnified the small

its jagged shards pierce my...
