~defenseless

     
     
     
     
   
     
in the heart of auburn equatorial sun      
drumming wild with wet thunderbeats    
of shrinking craniums & surfacing    
uraniums- with  winking tricky glints      
of golden diamonds, busy feeding      
the bloodied cartels      
     
where also the social bonobos      
still thrive in the feminine reigns    
enriched by the gushing wide      
riverine Congo & the falling high      
Zongo in sand~ slurried screens      
     
     
i stand    (fading pale and blinded      
as a frailly miniature grouped out ant      
     
in crying out nictitating membranes      
pressed hard out of many droplet tests      
for glaucomas and deficient sunlights      
     
strange.     yes, where sun screams      
in summer for almost all round the year      
     
I dwell in generous cellular cubicles      
     
with absolutely      
no time to breathe      
no time to die even      
     
stuck somewhere      
between them      
as a viral mess)    
     
still stand there, waiting for my turn      
outside the chest scanning room. in      
a clinical matte green oversized gown      
     
d e v o i d      
     
of my clinking metal locket      
and the ever gripping inners      
     
still stand there, a sense      
of being made semi nude      
to utterly defenseless      
     
worsening my stand still, are      
the abrading chill air ballistics-      
over the hit defenseless skins      
in shiver    -in a sadistic laughter      
     
growing tall and dark… this stand      
like a treacherous drawn death row      
     
only to feel the generational      
defenselessness & desperations      
  the genocidal plight of a nation      
left to itself to be massacred      
and the endlessly piling up      
pyre of mass burials      
made,   m a d e  unknown      
     
to the so made up      
selectively fed   histories      
     
     
of    (in)humankind
