wish people dead
close your eyes
have a baby
invade
implants
brow lift
botox
click heels three times
hire assassin squad
eat more chicken
whiskey
whiskey
lots of whiskey
pout
quit
catch a plane
more whiskey
watch Oprah
write a poem
hit delete
shred it
flush it down

farmer prays for rain
builder prays for none
each one asks the Lord
to be His chosen one
the birthing wall

the air rushes in
bringing total consciousness

dam the Grand Canyon, fill it up
add two years of America’s waste
boil in sun, top with men in suits

like a fish in a bowl
I am made for movement
but in reality
I am dead
in the water
So I curl up to sleep…

I cannot smile right now
while life is crushing
people I love
helpless
no magic
no inspiration
no intervention
just grey bleakness
alone on a float of sadness
surrounded by howling wind
and nothing absolutely nothing else.

In the name of Allah

Two fathers speak:
One father oversees his child play under a blue sky,
My son thrives in the presence of Allah
oh take delight in this moment!
Creator and Created
forever beautiful…
any second any outing any worship any moment any hell
The second father overlooks a hole blown into a street,
My son was ripped from this life
and flung into the shrapnel sky
his body became a constellation of flesh and blood
I will never forget the sight…
any second any outing any worship any moment any hell
