Fencing nation from nation
Against locusts...

Deep emotional gashes
Hooked on barbed wire...

Are actually made of
Barbed wire and razors...

echoes the attach
splinters of an umiak…
barbed point panges his back...

Sings to his hearts delight
Shot in mid sentence....

Yellow, white blossoms
Along the barbed wire and posts-
Air drips with nectar...

petals with roots dipped in lead
children behind barbed wire fence
old folks with nobody left...

Treading on free ground

Kept behind barbed wire fences

Why can't they be free??

too close to mom
the barbed wire fence
to the wood
so mad I threaten lawsuits
my anger follows the sun down...

a flock of Sparrows
chirp loud in the barbed wire fence
in the cold sunset

Access Denied


Lawns luxuriant 
Drew sight of poor passersby
Barbed fence mocked when near!

Once
I roamed the grasslands
Free
Once
Full quick alert vital
Free
Nature framed my existence
Now
Your barbed wire is all
I see....

on prairies lovely
combed with moth wings emerald....
barbed pines prick clay's flesh

dawn’s barbed talons
slowly splay a sleepless night…
            crimson scars

     daybreak’s ruby blouse
softly drapes a diamond skirt…
             morning dew...

Her eyes drip down scorn
Like pus from running sores
Every word edged and barbed
To rip and rend and tear
She lives to laugh at suffering
But oh she has such pretty hair...

feel the hedge the dunnock had slept
its lines a scribble toddlers had drawn
he nested in a pen test on scrap paper
edging fields in barbed wire branches
sleep static acrobats on frozen trapeze...

the sun, having been fixed
on the barbed wires of my ranch,
is in a state of fear and shock,
cause it has blocked the night's path;
that's why it will have to be exposed
to the night's wrath

Dark emotions like barbed wire wrapped around my heart 
I grab my blade 
I watch as blood flows and my skin comes apart 
With the blood goes the pain
A temporary release to keep just barely sane...

and so it begins....
my withdrawal from an addiction
that causes so much pain
frustration and confusion
as I bounce off
of these barbed-wire walls
I know I am strong enough
to finally break free...

There's a fairy in my chest
Live's with two crooked knives
In a barbed wire nest.
She loves to play and hide
In the dense and dolorous vines.
And I can get no rest.
As she tortures me at all times....

In the debt of separation
Yet we mortgage our eyes
On the firing sand of separation
Yet there has left a long way
In this barbed valley
Yet it to be blooded our dreams
Listen Imran please
Yet you do not lose hand...

I wander
        In barbed circles
          Seeking grace
         In faux distance-
           Looking back
          In wry dismay… 
My baggage has followed me

Rusted wire against a tree, year by year recedes
The countless rings of outer bark enwrap the wire within.
I mark the circles choking me.  I’m taut, stretched thin.
Thus Time is so absorbing me. Consumed. The oak tree feeds....
