Long Faulted Poems

where enemy bonded, heisted, and netted 
mine...

My own patriotic U.S. extended family,
historically,
and currently
remains StraightWhiteMale privileged
in our collective memories,
if not imaginations,
of spiritual communion
with all the more privileged saints

For T. Ganesan (1931-1985)

I've forgotten the taste of sugar and spice
