Blinks Through Bloodshot WalksWhen at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness

Beneath the Oak TreeI kneel to pray beneath an oak tree’s leaves,
where my journey began.
Broken limbs straggle over a patchy lawn,
a neglected place full of holes,
shoveled from childhood memories.
I bow at the altar of the tall oak.
Days...

Of heroes and the many dead,
Of blood,...

The Hungry DogI was born into a world that does not see me.
My body tells the story of absence;
The hollow of my stomach,
The jagged outline of my ribs,
My fur, patchy and damp.
I learned quickly that to want...

That call the children from their village life
To run with glee and meet with fear horsehead,
Whooping bway or devil costumed in dread
And there pitchy patchy dancing for his...

Receives my broken heaves and knees,

Of sorrow, of overwhelming regret
And it wrenches me and my...
