Long Metropolitan Poems

I have been trying to find the right words to pen this verse, but since I came to this country my words are suppressed and my voice is oppressed. The wind is blowing furiously, and...

Everything here is true
Just as stated
because it's already happened
or - it has yet to occur -

Sinister glacial dissolution 
verging on huge jagged icebergs reverberate
nature mocking bird song sans bot mot,
