Thank You






The light was good, the food was great, the spirits were plentiful, and the conversation was fascinating. I am so happy and and so proud.

What Have We Done to Us

forciblity transfixed

guilt ridden thought provocation

I sat in the grass all day, drinking dew

l.c.d. is to l.e.d. as picutres are to eyes

a new vision of pixilated peace and quiet

The air got colder, she knit faster

everytime I start to think I get aprehensive

there are 300m of us now, do you know how many of us' that is?

What will we leave behind this time?


Tent stakes, soup tins, and tarp

playthings left by G.I.s

he has grown strong in his

booby trap/back yard


The boy has learned to fly

to use trip wire as dental floss

to feed his broken grandma

“This land mined land is mine!”- with fist in air

browned from dawn’s burning sun

knows the smell of napalm but never seen it

Relief worker that looks like those who brought need for relief

The Khmer Rouge like a peeping tom
hoping for the misstep

and communism is now taught in schools

and isn't as bad as Al-qaeda,

But it was once, when there was money in it

There is no money in deltas of the Mekong

No more than in the still ravaged state of Mississippi

هزار و یک شب


a thousand, that’s a good number
of nights
in the bottom of the moon
where monsters sleep
and it rains between buildings
like prayers humming in the gutters
idols multiplying
until their abundance
leaves you alone
awake
recalling a sutra
something about refuge

or forgiveness


i’d have to say a candle
if i could only have one thing
or muscles
that knew how to levitate
by clutching a cloud
one side drifting through the cosmos
the other mingled with tree roots
anchors and dynamite


counting
has worn out
its utility
Shams took apart the abacus
in Tabriz
