Long Infertile Poems

Perhaps infertile
incomplete
unwashed memories
of elder v younger,

I have two incomplete conversations
in mind and heart
and what I...

this barren page, screaming, crying
	yelling through the winds,
		inviting me to begin again,

Some healers counsel us not to count the cost
of healing deficits

But
successful greenest healers

and...

Do you think love is healthy?

I suppose more therapeutic than its opposites,
whether hate,
or fear
or anger
or greed,
for is not love the formed functions of gratitude?

And here we are, on the orbit of our illusions,
civilized madmen who have lost their compass,
the divine savage in garments of convention,
hiding the mysteries of the true soul,

I remember those moments
So far from me now, the past echoes
Defeated by the silence of my womb,
The deafening silence breaking through
Peaceful moments, gentle breathes,
Serenity, sincerity, soothing… 
The longed for caress – softly stilling
Cries from the...

Han(1) is the mang-bu-sok.(2)
Han is the tears,
the tears of a sorrowful woman
who waited and waited to the good news
that of the husband, who left her a long time ago,
turned into a rock on the hilltop.

I asked the desert 
 to carry me from this place
 of the Qubbanet El-Qirud’ infertile soil 
 suddenly, that whisper of wind

The drum is sounding
From Queens in New York
Stretching to the horns of America
And the horns of Africa
Hear them applause
They call it the Trump drum of triumph
I sat on my chair of reeds
And looked towards north...

In ye old days of yore on Malaga's dreary shore
An untidy castle rimmed by salty moor
Housed a lonely, oft-drunk matador
In briny marsh grazed no sheep, but wild pigs three score
Staggering oft around soggy, muddy estate...

not that I'm aware of
just another flat penny train wreck
let's survey the blaspheming survivors
an army of gossiping lawn trolls
have been detected in your garden
do you

b. run screaming...

Mom, did you hear the news about patriarchy today?

Yes, dearest son!
Or no...
I'm not sure.
You mean the gender translation problem?

Not sure we had a problem,
