The ones who would soak 
the mother who drowned 
her children in serpentine
seas never floated a child. 

When splashed amongst 
the horror-stricken, 
we too feign revulsion. 
Evoke higher powers and
baptismal pools: the fluidity

Not in voices, but telepathically.

An empty tear bottle,
and a wine glass overflowing
with grief

Problem dissolving tablets,
disappearing        permanently

Distress message too late received

Depression driven exit,
crash the perfect...

to a popular bar
with a huge dance floor.
To find someone I would adore,
she is not hard to find.
It is easy to get the kind
that is attractive to the eye.

One world in beautiful places



Black, brown, red, yellow or white
But all we do is argue and fight
Why can’t we live in harmony?
