as if I'd been torn...

my right eye sits
in the ruby voodoo goblet

In whirlpools where bright genii wake to fight. 

Asleep along the foaming shore there lie
Two citadels...

I met a monstrous crocodile. 
She smiled at me enticingly.

These, cacophony that beggars descriptions

Disorder from indecent breed incubating, 

Confusion of morals, the imposition of strange culture, 

Filthily dressed to undress my mind, 

Our teacher teaching theories of writs and wits

These promiscuous pastors parading piety...

Victory to the women who’ve survived
Desertion, divorce and all that jive
If your name is still Thompson, after fifty years.

Marvel of fond Mother-Nature,
Carefully carved nomenclature!
Mountains fold hands toward blue skies,
Where stars flutter, like, butterflies! 
Water-waves warmly wash the feet,
Fleets on sleets meet around and greet!

Upheavals hearts harassed and heckled in circumstances
Maintained, retained and sustained on a hill
Disown and drown doubts in cocoons that ingratiate impertinence instances.
