Brooklyn
Salt beef with onion
sandwiches.
Goat cheese made
near the wailing wall
The waiter
is a scientist.
Intelligent eyes
behind thick-lensed glasses
do not dare to leave a tip.
The burden of my ancestors
weighed heavy on my mind.
The chicken soup was excellent
I shan´t return
Before
Palestine is a sovereign state
Salt beef with onion
sandwiches.
Goat cheese made
near the wailing wall
The waiter
is a scientist.
Intelligent eyes
behind thick-lensed glasses
do not dare to leave a tip.
The burden of my ancestors
weighed heavy on my mind.
The chicken soup was excellent
I shan´t return
Before
Palestine is a sovereign state

Bonaparte
He that trod upon subservient Europe
with the imperial guards' fighting prowess,
did himself and his heartthrob the empress,
entrench thrones jointly owned by their hookup.
He that caused guns to rage on Europe's plains,
and cannons to thunder on Egypt's sands,
sent hussars and mamluks to distant flight.
He usurped crowns for his dear siblings' gains,
and enthroned loyalists to head vanquished lands.
But was banished for good from France's sight
after a stunning loss on Belgium's plains.

The Physiology of Atrophy
The doorway to the desert.
The blood red sun sets into the stone
Of your future.
Sand granules set into stillness.
This moment is detached from humanity
and human activity.
Abandon hope is spoken in closed lips
Across the face.
* * *
The first night screams between the ears
Or so I’ve heard.
Because I’ve drowned in the depths
Of every known darkness.
The sand granules become electrons
Cast side to side.

The physiology moves in steps

Prince of Wales
Magpie sits on a highest branch
of an evergreen tree
ruffles her feathers black as soot
her ebony eye staring..
watching
out for the last sunbeam
to cascade across the glade
upon his head he wears crown
made of bullrushes and twigs
clothing woven from stinging nettles
his twisted bread ends in a point
proclaiming titles to be his own
Welshman with a welsh heart of stone
cutting coppers and jawbones
magpie spreads her ivory tipped wings
chirps excitedly as she sings
as the...

If you could be a Super hero, which one would you be, there's so many hero's to choose from, come play this game with me
Would you be Superman, faster than the speed of light, always there to save the world, protecting what is right
What about the Dark Knight, Batman whose, secretly Bruce Wayne, no real Super powers but obviously rich and with a brain
Thor the God of Thunder, with his hammer only those worthy can lift, he flies and his so powerful, a useful hero gift
Iron man has the gadgets, he has all the high tech toys,...

The Real G
Ruth was an icon, she was the real G
Bader was crusader for women’s rights
Ginsburg fought for justice and equality
Taking on battles, shining a bright light
She was a rockstar when she’d disagree
Flexing muscle - just check out her arm curls
And her dissents were very legendary
Schooling you till you clutched your pearls
Her influence enhanced our society
I think she was a badass in retrospect
Don’t believe me, read up on herstory
She truly deserves some mad respect
R.I.P. Dear Notorious R.B.G.
You are a hero...

Do Your Own Thing
When You let yourself
be concerned about
satisfying someone else
you
will be the first one
to be dissatisfied

a hero like you
all those small things:
getting up in
the
morning,
going to
work,
greeting
others,
smiling,
being
honest,
loving
someone,
lending
a hand
to
a brother
or
sister in
tears,
through the
sacred
passing of
those
who came
before,
through the
pain,
through the
joy,
through the
memories
of a
million
days moving
forward
in a
great
breathe of ...
