Look at bulls
in blue suits
well fed, swollen
from the humus

Good soup

 His lowly heart with love is filled
 But love is not a one way street
 In his dreams alone love's tango thrills...

Ragged and Torn
Since I've been born.
Just a peasant girl,
Not worth diamonds or pearls.

Born with the sheep
Have to sleep in the big dung heap.
Used and worn,
Ragged and torn....

Discombobulation
Deed beseeches with no passion,
Ruled like a peasant,
By cussing, language was weaken,
Rationality overruled by emotion,
Ignorance detests reason,
These mongrels play chicken.

What a trick!...

Sartorial Oasis
I dress up every Sunday, 
but only in my mind
My coat and tie in tattered shreds,
the past and future bind

To celebrate in peasant rags,
as memory dances free
Imagining in formal garb
—what only I can see
