Construction starts.
The night is shaken by booms and bangs
Of trucks, of heavy machines!

diploma acquired magna cum laude – double entendre

Xlv years elapsed since
I (former long haired pencil necked geek)
bid alma mater adieu,

As God's righteous movement in my heart and my chest;
Caught up in mine spirit soul dysfunction;
Captured heart beating in my chest;
Why am I constipated with the world's thoughts;

Waiting for the world to make sense again
I jump back and forth every now and then
Lush grass and blue sky, but I don’t know

there in that closet, which often memory recalls
how delightful and merry their days were,
but wishing for...

Through the docile jarrah trees
Where the wildest flowers wander
To and fro adorns the breeze
And the quietest fields of daisies mourn
The bodies of those once scorned
Safe away on endless tether
Awaits the...

When  once I was a teen
Gathered inside our small living room
Joy and simplicity our faces illume
Warm with laughter at striking stories
Light is the heart and empty of worries
My sisters...

After wishing upon a star
to garner a handsome windfall
as a positive fated birthday gift
lo and behold, these ears didn't deceive me,
cuz I discerned a partial telephone message

I lived my youth without many friends,
yearning for a departed father so selfless,
renouncing his children for another woman over-sea,
while my mom resigned to her fate;
lamenting and denouncing his terrible mistake:

How pretty this placid sea 
appears to everyone's eyes
in the quietest morning,
not a single sail challenging 
the surf of waves rambling;
do I hear a scream
of desperation arising
from the bluest depth?

Dancing by a veil of mist with rare brilliance.
I huddle near the window pane, pondering,
In this calm span, where dreams are wandering 

In the atrium of my...
