Tides gripping feet
in Istanbul's pollution
dash meets night
long in sight, poison grew

born of Jane
vinging pleasures
in Botticelli
never rubbing Buddha's belly
selling radio
fox hides and
jelly
grabbing angels

If Clytemnestra knew?
Sucking corn of g m o's
stalking immigrants to go
protons sinking
Marching down
the days before
pushed in dreams

Kindred of the poor
blessed in time and place
barefooted to cities of the night
taking flight
carrying Mother’s anger

As I write, I worry about your futures
cause aspirations of two women, queens to be,
children of presidents,

Before the night breaks us

Reaching across space newly constructed
bearing fruits unexpected

old fruit, old times, great play that rhymes
blogging
Finding each other with all the bother of enqueuing minds
printed digitally with a dime's effort
mixing egos online
Forwarding 2 cents worth

bean cans making cars and fire engines, galore
bold, colorful
