In this war, too,
they list the dead
in silence.
We stare blankly,
unfeeling,
trying out sympathy
and sorrow,
but the heart has been beaten
out of us—
the atrocities of humanity
shut us down
with guilt, and discouraged,
we wave it out of our lives.
We spoke out
once, and our voices
were strangled
and left quiet.

Kiss of Darkness
Kiss of Darkness,
run through me.
Give me blood
that I may be.
Last deep breath,
Grip like stone
Kissing death and
Crushing bone.

Tired - amusedtangerine
I'm tired of saying "I'm sorry"
I'm tired of hearing "you owe me"

I'm sick of trying to fix people
That I secretly know I can't.
I'm tired of living my life day to day and not getting anywhere
I'm sick of the cycles my life follows
I'm tired of living within my restraints
And I'm sick of being too lazy to break free of them
I'm sick of be

A Week That Was
Saturday
1:
I'm loath to comb the
morning tangles
from my long dark hair
2.
watching birds scatter
the shadows of
hot air balloons
3.
showering—
connect constellations of
freckles on his shoulders
4.
writing this haiku
before bedtime
the fridge faintly humming
Sunday
1.
early morning walk
incontinent ladies
and church dogs
2.
fixing breakfast—
cracks the curve of an egg
with the curve of my hand
3.
at the zoo
we sneak a grope
by the python cage
at the zoo
the alpha baboon curls his
lip up at me
at the petting zoo
the goats shit pellets
constantly
4.
new rain arriving—
a moment of night's passion paused
while

This is the first thing I've written about the war with Iraq. That says something right there.

Mmm.
Says something indeed.
And yet . . . what words are ever appropriate?
