Fly bobbing ahead
into night through the window,
a speck on white moon.

A speck on white moon,
the little astronaut dreams;
someday, he'll come home.
There is always something left to love.

someday, he'll come home
to complete his family,
that was left broken.
I only put my signature on big cheques.

that was left broken,
in pieces and shattered shards,
angrily cuts me
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

Angrily cuts me,
the slice of morning light through
blue curtains half-drawn.

blue curtains half-drawn,
blinds half-raised, windows half-closed,
my ambivalence.
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

this ambivalence -
it feels like clarity but
it tastes like poison.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

It tastes like poison
and feels like being buried in
someone else's grave

Someone else’s grave
May be showered in flowers—
My grave remains bare.

My grave remains bare,
with wild fall winds carving in
these new epitaphs.

these new epitaphs
though engraved just yesterday
already grow moss.

There rarely grows moss
in glacial climates like mine;
new hope brings soft springs.

New hope brings soft springs
to the layers of field grass;
sprinklers now switched on.

sprinkles of rain fall
on my palm, forming rivers
in the small creases.

in the small creases
of mother nature's mind's eye
turbulence stands still
[insert inspirational quote here]



The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices; to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicions can destroy. A thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own.
