Femia Cools Poem
the cry of a rooster
carries the first sun-rays
over the hill into the day
streaming the rumble mumble
of the early morning rush
and the sound of school-bells
in children's voices
the neighbor's dog still barks
the kettle whistles, the birds sing
the cat winds itself around its tail
the kitchen calls for breakfast
a key to close the door
a key to open the gate
a key to start the car
in a controlled traffic jam
with drumming fingers
watching nothing in particular
humming a song I don't really know
sipping coffee I brought from home
drive and stop and drive and slow
a liberating flush and loud honks
while my cell comes to life again
with the cry of a rooster
.

Femia Cools Poem
"forget me not!"
I hear your cry
I try, I really try
but
where secrecy is helpful
even required
to log on, log in or
simply open up,
it hides in dungeons
always just
beyond my grasp
oh, www! please stay,
please stay!
I ask you:
remember me?
okay, then
let me pass
let me stay!

Femia Cools Poem
it is chiefly
the hump on his back
that gives grandeur
to the gait of the bearer
more than his whistle
or his antennas
whispering
one estimates off-the-cuff
what the treasure will be
as his steps approach
proclaimed by rumor
"Water carrier was there,
snakes have been searching,
Thunderbird flew over again
and the sun has been called.
Kokopelli comes,
comes, comes...
His abundance! "
it is for ever
the inconclusive time
catching the tracks
of the carrier and his treasure
in stone
that gives him breath
