I used to beat backhand
along with the racket

To make sense of it all
as a child, the grief stolen
all too swiftly and replaced...

When does ambiguously free verse
also become emphatically political verbing verse?

ambiguously written 
about my sons,

the more she cried.

Now it had been my hope
and passion
to become...

Shatter the Delusion


Enormity of lies
Creates infallible illusion

And so, it sticks...

I go slow 
Do I wait
right here
Please tell...
