there is no place
quite like the other
each valley
each plain
each mountain
each plateau
each
with its own
land forms
life forms
weather
and light
encased in a shared
halo of air
we are binding this earth in asphalt.
binding
and branding
we block the night sky
with our signs.
from
above
we look
like fire
dear God

anything)

We heard oral sex
ten thousand times
more
than terrorism.
We saw her face
ten thousand times
more
than the evildoer.
he is a coward
August 27, 2007
he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.
he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
but not a flame.
he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.
he left to have sex
with violence – like John Wayne
slapping a woman.
although he showed up,
he never returned.
again and again.
I heard “oral sex”

I heard “oral sex”
ten thousand times more
than “terrorism”.
I saw her face
ten thousand times more
than bin Laden’s.
If only it had been otherwise…

No more
security,
just spycurity.
No more sleeping
in peace,
only sleeping
while watched.
