1.
Here’s to you,
Goddess; Geisha; Girl.
To your heart, an open wound
to your body, a ruthless bloom
to the woman, within it all
who can never choose
to be one,
but must be
it all.

Todays face
is the face of panache.
It took a good 277 days
to make
and fake.
It sits well they say,
you carry it well they say-
I smile, radiant, and say
The panache, its great to carry
but it's heavy
It's heavy
It's heavy.

(In memory of April 21 easter bombings)
We trudge, heavily
through this daylight darkness,
nodding half-heartedly
at blackened people
dropping charred words
onto burned hearts,
watching greyly,
how the un-alive
bury their dead.
