albeit modest word zealot

CHILDREN OF LAHORE
(Easter Sunday 2016)


Arms flailing
From

Blue burka,

The woman
Jumps

Like a checkerboard
Piece

Draped
Over a
Red blossom
Bump
Lumped
And soaked on
The gravel dust
Fairground
Floor.

Like a game of peekaboo
Between mother...

"See of Ghosts"

ghosts never leave
they watch you 
while you sleep 
casting dreams
of their return 
they wait for you
to see

ghosts never leave
whispering their 
absent stories 
into your delta heart
constant in deep shadows
along the undulating waves

They sat in the basket, didn’t get away
Until I woke and found them nestling there
A wee young girl, I began stroking their hair
