Born In Bombay
Before you were real, you were a dream.
Before you were a dream, you were an actress, born in Bombay.
Her’s is Ayesha; yours is Ali, and she told me you were coming, years before you came, and she placed you inside of my heart.
You’ve since become a keloid on my soul....

and sing sad songs---aping
caged birds---
crying to fly away home....

across the face
of the promise land.
Once more
liberty and justice
proves to be
only for some—
serving Satan
in the name of God.
Once more
eschewed minds
flake death
to the tested innocent
living out
the tried truth—
their being
who they are:
children of the same God
blasphemed with desecration
of name....
