Don’t wear shorts — they’ll say you asked for it.
But also don’t wear jeans — you’re being too Western.
Saree? Salwar? Dupatta? — Oh please, that blouse was too tight.

Dimmer than sun, his subordinate 
reflection, yet remains he jealous 
despite; for even death, cannot silence 
love’s forever brilliance, vows
trans-versing...

Headed for home on a greyhound bus
With four years of freedom behind me
Back to the homestead where my father ruled
Trepidation for what I know will be
Rules I never followed before I went away
Curfews lay broken...

A tiny hand, a dream unfurled.
So small she lay upon my chest,
My loudest heart, my quiet rest.


She looked at me with eyes so wide,
As if I’d hung the stars...

Smack talking, crack walking track knocking
Pyro setting
Drama getting
Sun setting
 Down by the docks
 Flocks of Hawks
Dance on rocks
Crazy, snazzy bustin locks

Another summer makin
Beach nights
Hot rights
Drunken fights
 Lost sights
Neon tights
 Ocean and sand

Through the heat and through the cold

We grew past the school days
Slowly we changed our ways
Many years...

scarred land from harsh maintenance.
Pus volcanoes erupting hormones,
hot magma dominating the land. 
Adults prepare fervently for the warnings
