I'm torn in poetry ~ 
like a fractured syllable 
scattered across 
altars of glistening gold, 
mirroring the maskless faces

I warned you about Mother telling her stories.
I warned you,
but you wouldn’t listen.

I warned you about the magic
of golem and djinn,
about lilac walks 
and mysterious circuses.

abandoned mice,
runaway mice,

I once read,
If I am a parishioner,
(or a student
or a child
or some other non-elite ecofeminist identity)

finger-pointed outed.

I am left wondering,
Who could...

Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,
I knew you back then 
Where sea breezes begin
And...

The first cut 
of roses 
are in bloom 
and I will

very soon. 

They float 
in a bowl 
of Arctic ice-flow; 
regarded highly 
by the local Wal-Mart 
feng shui 
masters. 

Made to...

You nurture them
You raise them
All the while seeking to rearrange them
For you insist on always owning them

Children are our saviour
Dynasties become prolonged
It is never best to have...

after an invasion void of any declaration.
Stamps on history’s book by feminine hands
to ascertain the first death sentence of the same human disaster.
A time frame marked its stolen identity
signifying...

A place near the corner of the rebirth seat

A place kept in the decorations of...

And your sight is bad.

Altzhiemers: Thief of Light

My good old friend is a prisoner
tortured by his own sharpest tool
The shadows of Altzhiemers
Throwing a cloak of darkness
Over his bright green eyes
Eyes that I regularly looked to
For wisdom and sage advice
Forty-five...

from this world 
of labor and knowledge:
 
physical labor 
destroys us
if we live to eat
knowledge 
spoils us
if we fail to live 
by what we know— 

Nature redeems...

I've got my earphones on
My hoodie says billabong
Writing lyrics about her while playing my favorite song
All the right moves like
