Endless Prayers to my Goddess
Kali, female aspect of time;
naked mother of words, Death runs from you.
Liberate my sightless eyes, impregnate my soul with your breath.
Orchids wilt in your presence;
beyond good and evil, your sword sunders the Universe in half.
When the Universe dies, Kali endures.
naked mother of words, Death runs from you.
Liberate my sightless eyes, impregnate my soul with your breath.
Orchids wilt in your presence;
beyond good and evil, your sword sunders the Universe in half.
When the Universe dies, Kali endures.

Xanadu's Seed
Orchids bloom on bare branches, butterflies shyly dance.
Her pale skin spirits them near, blurry wings undress her form.
How sordid her brazen laughter, orchids sway softly in the wind.
Her pale skin spirits them near, blurry wings undress her form.
How sordid her brazen laughter, orchids sway softly in the wind.

Foreign tongues
The endless murmuring moon, navigates from star to star.
Her journey birthed in a dream, star laced eyes from East to West.
My heart aches for her lips and hands, please incarnate by my side.
Her journey birthed in a dream, star laced eyes from East to West.
My heart aches for her lips and hands, please incarnate by my side.

Buried lights in winter
Rusting souls and slot machines;
supermarkets full of neon.
I see them enslaved and chained;
empty eyes through a mirror.
They sit there in Purgatory;
begging for absolution.

Ariel speaks
Queen of the wailing wind, fairy child of the forest,
we hear your whispered tears.
I know tulips and lilacs will never cover the walls,
I know my favorite daylily will never bloom.
(I take one step forward)
I dream, a sleepy dream, where children go to play
with Oberon and Titania.
Where, where, fairy children with crayon wings color
flowers every morning.
(I collapse)
My soul aches for the moon, her walls sway every night;
her heart merely a dream on fairy dust and ashes to ashes.
we hear your whispered tears.
I know tulips and lilacs will never cover the walls,
I know my favorite daylily will never bloom.
(I take one step forward)
I dream, a sleepy dream, where children go to play
with Oberon and Titania.
Where, where, fairy children with crayon wings color
flowers every morning.
(I collapse)
My soul aches for the moon, her walls sway every night;
her heart merely a dream on fairy dust and ashes to ashes.

Little Sparrow
Let me sleep with you for one more night,
Let me sleep in your scraps of light,
I want what the Bible promises--
your lips, hips, and arms wrapped
(in salvation)
I miss your warmth.
Let me sleep in your scraps of light,
I want what the Bible promises--
your lips, hips, and arms wrapped

Crow Queen
this door, hands
jitter from ear to ear
ritual sniffs and tears
silence, ROARS
her little feet carry her through the doors
empty
homes
make her
jitter from ear to ear
ritual sniffs and tears
silence, ROARS
her little feet carry her through the doors
empty
homes

an open window
My love is an orchid carved by Rodin,
petals flutter cupped in song, sister flowers
forswear their bloom, naked and luminous
pure and untouched.

Dreaming of Yesterday
I met my mother's sister in South Korea. I had just walked off the plane when I recognized her waiting in the lobby of the terminal. She was beaming and excited to see me. I walked up to her and gave her a deep hug and began to cry. She was the only family I had left. I was her only family now too.
I spoke in a whisper, "I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner. Mom died peacefully."
My aunt just nodded and got some tissues out of her purse for both of us. Quickly we dried our eyes and headed for the luggage carousel. After we got our bags, we caught a taxi and headed to...
