The True Mother
“The True Mother”

bleed out Life’s dreams
rust crumbles to dust
Virulent apathy spreads
Betrayal’s destruction

This Is Unfinished Feminist UsSo I was feeling badly,
sad,
because I share our mutually complicit status
for my compatriot's difficult terrorizing
chronic stress disordering

lost there,

I wish I had done more at...

Look far out at the horizon
There over the peaceful rolling...

With footfalls that loom, a sweet scented voluptuous sound
Which gently strike...

Myth of Churning of OceanThere was a war between Gods and demons,
The Hindu mythology says with reasons;
This went for long with full-fledged fights,

like Taurus colonizing crabgrass
embedded in...

The World Around UsAwaking blithe each morning,
with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.
I wander through...

Remember the slogan
“Haskell is moving, are you pushing?

A mighty rush of water
Swept them right off their feet.
