In this hearth
shards open beyond eyes
filled with eulogies
fierce flames
euphoria glancing
from our skeleton
we are the kernels
flute bones
where love answered
all questions
mother in your ebony hair
we played hide and seek
climbing through light
as frequencies
mausoleums
fingerpainted wallpaper
a rustic lost door hinge hanging
this is the room
now we finally
may step inside
my father arched over an accordeon
weeping into vaporized void
his...
filled with eulogies

To my daughter that never was
I sit in a passenger seat
watching night’s wheels
drive towards the car
noise
and colour
softly blurring
I wonder
if that too was what
you were, my dear
passing light
kaleidoscopic
nothingness
a journey we once took
together in the deathly
December
dark
watching night’s wheels
drive towards the car
noise
and colour
softly blurring
I wonder
if that too was what
you were, my dear
passing light
kaleidoscopic
nothingness
a journey we once took
together in the deathly
December
dark

The carving
The silhouettes that filled Septembers sky,
in innocence they stood.
Twins, stood never far apart
America in brotherhood
the trade they had would soon be robbed
carved with hatred
carved from a clear blue sky
carved with the fanatic's death wish cry
We stand for just a minute now,
silence gathered, heads bowed down,
and try to resurrect. from the shattered and the torn.
9/11 the innocence of dawn.
A fading photo clasped, the knuckles white,
with sorrow...
in innocence they stood.
Twins, stood never far apart
America in brotherhood
the trade they had would soon be robbed
carved with hatred
carved from a clear blue sky
carved with the fanatic's death wish cry
We stand for just a minute now,
silence gathered, heads bowed down,
and try to resurrect. from the shattered and the torn.
9/11 the innocence of dawn.
A fading photo clasped, the knuckles white,
with sorrow...

California Love (Denise Levertov Tribute)
As you sleep you dream of California,
Always draped and encased in gold.
You always watch as the short, cold
Days of winter and its dimly lit aura
Disappears into the pale, amber light.
Will you be thinking of her? Because
Although you will take one long pause
To admire her in her glory in the night,
But what about all the other seasons?
Because you can be loving her during
All the good memories, but enduring
The fire together is not in the reasons
In which you have loved her the best.
You are...
Always draped and encased in gold.
You always watch as the short, cold
Days of winter and its dimly lit aura
Disappears into the pale, amber light.
Will you be thinking of her? Because
Although you will take one long pause
To admire her in her glory in the night,
But what about all the other seasons?
Because you can be loving her during
All the good memories, but enduring
The fire together is not in the reasons
In which you have loved her the best.
You are...
