When I'm gone
and veiled
In green grass
When I no longer cast
a shadow under
the afternoon sky
And words no longer
the voice machine jam.
In that moment
of belief...
Flowery speech?
No, my dear, . . .

Blindfolded...
On the pavement
Impatient
We push
the traffic pole.
Perhaps the light pole's
The summons post?
Or the Pedestrian's
Just the place
The angel descended?
Blindfolded we walk . . .

If
I were a bird
I'd build my nest
In some corner
Out of sight.
If I were a bird
I'd perch
On the branch
Of a palm tree
And let Ache
On the wings
Flutter away.
But . . .

When days are filled with unnatural chants,
Often the handshakes are just as bare.
Scratched olive branches rot in the winds
As hurried Angels pick up the souls on heavenly wings; . . .

The stone pebble and the soil under his feet gentle
Grateful, delighting in every moment treaded
To the cave of light, soul eager as he retreated:
Read! The Arch Angel commanded.
Read! In the name of thy . . .

Inseparable by custom's ride
Life goes on as it were a rite.
Norms, and not heart
Are grand lullabies in this hearth.
Mere hand-outs in jest's ride
Bespoke a woman's prize. . . .

Are you tossing me some more
Tears?
Then, I'll drop them like a hot coal
Or make them into a pouch
And wear it like a pearl.
