Swishing of the Oat Seed

On the bleak street
not a blade of grass,
only dust 
from the lorries,
the cement mixers.
A year later
I see a bud appearing,
by Autumn
this one golden blade
has grown tall.

The sound of a swishing oat seed
cheers me up
in grubby flatland.


Ink's Wickedness

Bloodthirstiness of ink's wickedness, 
ruthlessly dripped upon parchment
blistering an already screeching sun,
no footprints apparently left in sand as
oceans's bluffs turned oases to flatland,
there was no urgency for brutal honesty
aside factually, it unquestionably delivers

F L a T L a N D

To resist the op(press)ion 
of the two (dement)sional flatland world of glossy magazines,
I have (ob)seen women

Mutilate their forearms with deep(er) strokes of a razor
So that they may prove with their b(lo)ody
To themselves and their (conf)users
That their image (has depth)

Has depth (their image

Has depth)
