The Way In
A fire burns orange and bright
in stark contrast against
the black Bohemian sky,
crackling hard over sounds
of a furious pen scratching
coffee stained parchment,
pausing to stoke flames,

The Human Zoo
They pass my window every day
the young, the old, the tired, the grey,
the little woman going to church,

I used to see her
every rainless early morning.
She always wore an overcoat
a headscarf, and thick and wrinkled
old woman's stockings.
Her gaunt and stubborn shuffle was ever being overtaken

Death By Any Other Name

as you laid there and died
on that dirty Iranian street
They hovered o’er you –
