WISH
I Wish
You could walk
This Burden road
Or
Just once
Sing
This terror song
EARNING MY
MISTAKES
How Can I teach you about life
For I too have walked
Walked away
Torn
Between feeling partial joy and partial sadness
The great divide
The me
The my
The mine
My mo me me me-might have
I too have sat
Listening to good people and good things
Talk talk
Talking about the yester
The day until today
When I bring the unfortunate news
Crisp white linen is not enough
For God is a void
Devoid
This void
This hole disparately aching to be filled holy
By that something
Or that someone missing
Missing miss ing Liss ing
Listening to people
Talk talk talk talk ing
Speak speak ing
Change chang ing
Hands
Swaying
As preachers preaching
Speak only to the choirs of their God
Devoid
A void
Of this void
TO BE HERE OR ON THE NILE
I am looking out of someone’s eyes
Standing so close
So still
That my shadow falls
Into another song
Other places
Other stars
Eclipsing moons
I am standing all alone
Wondering
Which is better
To be here
Or
To have stayed on the Nile
ME
Helpful
Arrogant
Kind
Cruel
Honest
Liar
Gentle
Hateful
Loving
Selfish
Me
TO J. B.
The world
Thinking it was
James Brown
Took a sip
Of nectar
Only to fall
Down
Laughing
In
All
Her beauty
PUTTING GOOD HANDS TO USE
There are times
I want to tear out my eyes
Seen enough violence
To last lifetimes
There are times
I want to cut off my ears
Heard more suffering
Than one heart should bare
There are worst times
When hate wells up
Mouth burning like oven
Unsure
Nothing comes to mind
Shove fist in mouth
Quietly
Walking away
LOST
I am
Memory
Retaining
Names
Numbers
Lost
I am
Black
On call
Waiting
Lost
I am
Remembrance
Like water
Fire water
Paradise
Lost
ABORTIONS AND GREEN TEA
Approaching my car
Protesting abortions
Right light green sweaters
On shoulders
Play clothes
Unaware how I feel
Minimum waged
Out paint your sign
Rattling inside
Mind the cause
Will find you
Making green tea
Waiting like me
For your nails
Light red
To dry
