nine was was
September 11, 2006
It seemed a time of respect.
Skies were skies,
no chalky lines
of manufactured smoke,
only birds and clouds and flags.
Terrorism
was not yet entertainment.
Guns and cleavage
had temporarily disappeared from the screen.
Reflection and restraint
seemed a collective value.
Never to return,
we lived briefly
in the peaceful eye
of chaos.

Healers dwell
in the valleys
and hills
of mind
There is magic
to be done
with the energy
of thought
Call out
Invite these sweet gifts
of light
from within

In the name of Allah
July 16, 2006
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

Dog Knows First
May 23, 2006
He leaps
from the couch
and growls at the sky.
Then looks back at me –
to say goodbye.
Soon come the winds
straight from hell
all we can do
is bark and yell.
The Earth is an ember
our spirits release,
another failed planet
another failed peace.
