Red is the colour of my hair,
The colour of the blood in my veins’
Of the cord that hung on the whore’s window
And doomed Jericho to fall.
The thin, slow strand of vermilion;
Scarlet ribbon tracing its way to the earth:
Rahab’s redemption and my rebirth.

he told me she was stalking him
she'd taken photos of him secretly
but i said to him, like
the Buddy Holly song says,
it's so easy to fall in love
it's so easy to fall in love
it's so easy
it seems so easy
he
thanked me
for the
wisdom

blowing her trumpet flower
my Jericho walls fall in
my geriatric state she
states she's younger
oh those who cast
the first stone for
crying out loud
geeze please
i live in a
glass
dome
so
don't
damn
me if you
haven't judged
yourself

Without death
life loses all beauty
Without death
life loses its way
Without death
life’s value diminished
Without death
life reasons to pray
Without death
life’s years lose their value
Without death
life’s seething refrain
Without death
life loses its prescience
Without death
—life dearth to explain

Parting Gift
You called it a parting gift,
to soften away the blow.
A way to make the pain lift,
To stop the tears flow.
Instead, it parted my heart,
As the walls of Jericho.
It ripped me wide apart
As you shall never know
This parting gift you gave me
Has cursed me, body and soul;
I only hope in life's new page
You shall never follow

I do not know?
Happiness inside the box of our lives
secure in our own realities
foolish are we
for our walls are
imaginary.
Inside the box of our lives
bricked in by our own constraints
foolish are we
for all walls are
imaginary
The box of our lives
may the walls all fall
like the famous walls of Jericho
free are we
of our lives
let us be
free

Verse
one day
you will take me in your arms
in such a fashion
that I will instantly know
I can
exhale
release
let go of the great wall of defense
that shelters me in the Jericho of
my womanhood
one day
this victory over the darkness of mistrust
the walking on ground made of
slushy sand
this victory over words not said and words
whispered in the hush of silence
this victory over love lasting for an eternity
will be won
and I
will
sigh……

we sat down and i offered my hand
he didn't see it, with his head down
and said black decides where the clock is
positioned
it was discovered it wasn't working
so i fetched the microwave
to position next to the board
he
put on his chess gloves
my mother became a
backseat chess player,
then removed her lemon pudding
from the microwave
we continued
Jericho entered the room and leaned on my shoulder
he said
i'm
just
checking
on
you
mate
i lost

I
Remember Rahab "the harlot"
Gentile gone to God of Jewry
Jericho? She saw the light
I, too, iterate: God is Good
Choose correctly, pray patiently
Daily devotions, by people, prophets
II
Trust true Savior, Yeshua hameshiach
Don't delay: don't dally: pray
Patiently, faithfully, trustingly
Why go to men? Men may mend
Some things; God mends meaningfully
Go to Him, don't move a micro-millimeter
Spirit help me stay close; I move away
When I feel forlorn; He is still There
