Birthing

the tree
full of thorny body
breeds
most beautiful flower
rose

pregnant woman
waits for two hundred eighty days
painful body
gives birth
motherly best love

A two-hundred-year-old olive tree 
was removed
It was a crime.

People by the billions 
watching a moon devouring a sun.
Soon after, the devouring is forgotten.
Like a holocaust.
Like the Twin Towers.
Like a trinity,
Like the two hundred
Hostages

HAMAS.

Hope Diamond is worth two hundred millions.
Donated to Smithsonian by one worth billions.

They were lucky the 1958 postal service did not fail.

Thirty-two poems a day to post,
To reach that treasued goal,
For thity-two hundred years or so
With thirty-two prayers I'll last that long,
To get over a million postings,
Well, I'll surely give it a go.

How much positive phosphorus is in a human body?
I hear the facts in tiny whispered scientific snatches
Stated by a biologist named Mr. John T. Roddy
