Children of Lahore
CHILDREN OF LAHORE
(Easter Sunday 2016)
Arms flailing
From
Her
Blue burka,
The woman
Jumps
Like a checkerboard
Piece
Up and over
The white squares
Of bedsheet
To bedsheet
To bedsheet
Each
Draped
Over a
Red blossom
Bump
Lumped
And soaked on
The gravel dust
Fairground
Floor.
Like a game of peekaboo
Between mother...

Moth Upside Down On the Ceiling
This black moth
flew in the front door
of the living room
the other night
and has been up
on the ceiling
ever since.
It's hanging
upside down
in the same spot
not moving
like a drone waiting
for instructions. ...

What Annoys Me
Comes the first day of spring
and everything is in bloom,
while the bugs start
invading way too soon,
And while living down south

to ward off the flying insects
that give us grievous emotions,
Outdoor eating can...

Lord of the Flies
Harassing me for days now
Landing on my eyelid
Nosing up my nostril
Tickling my ankles
and every other exposed body part
Little bastard...

Raid? Sprayed til I sneezed and choked
and had to...

It's time to put away our winter gear;
Show some skin and have a little fun
While soaking up the warm summer sun.

Not much better inside for commode water

Shaking at fireplace's front, stood our daughter
On top of the hearth wasn't any better

I, Said the Fly

Freddy the Fly
Dapper Freddy,
the house fly
and this is a fly
not prone to lie

or climb up walls
he can even fly-talk!!

Drinking Buddies
