Long Oni Poems

Muscles locked in agony
Every ligament burning

Life and Death dance
  
On her knees pushing
Two women holding her

“A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
and she refused to be consoled,

These armies in bright blinding splendour, 
Arrayed in unfathomable beauties,

Tell her you have stolen it,
That golden Agbada your father,
Inherited from his father's lineage

Times of messianic past
Human dominant sentiment will not last
Try but you will not stand

Only to find this is a valley of fear

Purim Serum
Reverse the decree, costume quorum,
Dour outlooks, ingrates can wait,
To “V’Al HaNissim” respond “Amen!”
‘Til Shichur or REM inebriate,
Confusing “Baruch Mordechai & Arur Haman”,
Choose an opponent as a receiver of being considerate,
Send Mishloach Manos, listen quietly...
