But never less than her Mommy's treasure!

The Battlefield With No Face, No Beginning, No End
when scorpions crawling on the boiling sands
dance the dance of death with tail culled up
the gaudy toadstools grow in the dark and dampest spot
in the wasteland, and as day progresses the never-ending
merciless...

I Meme, Therefore I Am
forgot what I had set out to remember
when my deconstructed self
discovered there was no authentic anything
saw through it all every granule
how we became the unwitting tools
of smarter people who really weren't smart enough
concluding if this...

In Emerald Shadows
Trying to hide in conspicuous places
a night on the town in their false, plastic faces.
Sweetly they sweep through magnificent halls,
top-dollar galas and masquerade balls --
where always the wine is more bitter than sweet,

Looking For God
I went looking for God
in grandest cathedral,
in splendour of gold,
and crosses and statues
and rooves overwhelming
and priests ever-damning
and nuns ever-loving,
so wishing the children would learn
and be good.....
I went looking for God
in a golden dome,
where the mullahs...

You Are the One
l.
Opening the closet of narra doors, I sweep through
organza skirts and gemmed ringlets; my hair
ruffling aimlessly upon scalloped kerchiefs
smelling decade - old hyacinth, Mom’s favorite
ambrosia: she would lift her anklets
in tiptoed hums, ”night...

Let It Rain
Our farms are sick and starved and outgrown barns,
The earth is witted, breaking our spades
Tomorrow is stranded because today is wicked
Barking on our tears
These brothers of mine are strangers
They rage the sun in this part...

Wardrobe Crisis
Clothes don’t make me feel any less naked
I still feel exposed
No amount of sweaters or sweatshirts can mask the humiliation that I know
Even when I’m fully naked
My skin doesn’t cover what I...

Conversation With the Bathroom Mirror
I'm frightened.... what if I'm wrong?
I'm scared.... what if I'm right?
If I fall in love with him today,
Will he leave me in the night?
A world of getting to know him,
as curious as it seems,
Sometimes I...

''Mighty: 'Mira, have you seen the dam's reservoir level rise?''
Its water spills over, a dangerous disguise
Mira: ''Yes, I have, my friend. It is a terrible sight
The flood brings a destructive might".
Mighty: ''The Engineers, they say...

Summer
Fireflies at night.
Are busy.
They light up with attitude.
And land on my shoulder unexpectedly.
In the summer.
Cars going by sound crisp as they sweep through town.
My head is unmuffled.
And my...

In sign language, with your hands, tell me to sleep
to close off the world and its burden to keep
to blow my anxiety through bubble wands soapy
and pillow my tears with agreeable dreams
In sign language, with...

To a Scrap Book
Library ~ daytime, empty, shelves are stacked

Speed one ~ and even reading, can't sit back

I bared my soul within warmth of thy hot flame
needing comfort of lovingly sent relief.

Death of a Poet - Leonard Coen
When you died
My heartache reached my bones.
You seemed an old soul, but ageless.
Your death caught me by surprise.
Your deep, long, full voice
never to sweep through a room.
Never to fillet my soul
or plunge cold reality into...
