Ode to my Mother
My mother in the depths of her pain and sorrow
had a strength and tenacity that all should borrow
selfless sacrifices should be an example to follow
she was stoic to the end faithful to her vow
she endured her husband cruel blows
shielding her children from his punches
waking up with black eyes and bleeding nose
enduring the pain as she went about her chores
she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together
loving my wayward brothers even as they wandered
working in the paddy field to feed them
thatching the roofs to keep us all...

she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together

the ember of love
The Ember of Love
As he was walking along the busy shopping street an old woman, came toward him
He knew her but hadn't seen her for many years
once upon a time, he had loved her very much
they both stopped; she remembered him and forthright, as she always was, told him he looked old
She was old also but refrained from telling her
Their hair was white and brittle, and her prominent nose had dropped, giving her a look like a witch.
They hugged, and he told her she looked great!
Behind the thick-rimmed glasses she wore, he saw
a glimmer of...

litter on my mind
Litter on my mind
When I walk into the garden of my mind
I sometimes pick up weeds that must be rid of in the cold light of sanity.
A person, from the past, sent me a rancid email claimed
I had been lying when telling him I had crossed the Sahara barefoot when it was a simple spelling mistake
He also claimed that I had only been a cobbler's assistant and that knew nothing about upper soles of
clogs; it is a mystery how he found out I thought my abstract world was mine alone.
I'm told the rude, offensive person dabbles in electric matters.
I...

1205
Every night 1205 always wondered why
1205 the time you'd begin to snore so i knew it was safe
I could just be
Every night one two three four
1205 check for movement 1 2 3 4
You couldn't yell at me at 1205
301 different story i'd pretend to be asleep
It never worked
You'd start a fight id cry
The dog would hide
1205 stayed up till 4 then went to sleep sleep till 12 12 was safe
1205 the time you'd begin to snore so i knew it was safe
I could just be
Every night one two three four
1205 check for movement 1 2 3 4
You couldn't yell at me at 1205
301 different story i'd pretend to be asleep
It never worked
You'd start a fight id cry
The dog would hide
1205 stayed up till 4 then went to sleep sleep till 12 12 was safe

Confined to this hell.
Eager for some sort of light.
Too claustrophobic.

I’ve been slapped so many times before that I don’t even know when realization hits.

Seclusion
Slowly removing myself from others lives.
Early warning signs.
Could this end badly?
Losing all sense of reality.
Under the impression that I’m doing okay.
Should I feel this empty?
I can’t shake this feeling off.
Obviously, I am the problem.
Nonsensical?

Evil eyes
His eyes turn to black.
The demon has awoken.
Fear consumes my life.

Ramadan is going green; eat cabbage stew before dawn
and leave the cattle feel safe from men with long knives
I think of Israel, a none Muslim state, where the Jews
are demonstrating against the fanatics, who are, at heart
Fascists; the wish is, for them, to extend to lend a hand
to the long-suffering Palestinians.
In Europe, people are tired of the proxy war between
Russia and the USA; they are finally seeing Ukraine for
what it is, a fascist country that, with the help of NATO
Illegally grabbed power; they are...
