drooping
leaving. like leaf
drifting, nowhere to go.
your hatred is a cloud shrouding
our rays

silence
oh! rasping voice
let dead lips congregate--
and thrust their words unto my breast
like knives

this heart
with many songs
is heavy --like ripe fruits
bearing down the tree. take it
take me.

--------






heartbreak:
girdled sorrow.
a jar -- like you -- housed in
infinite tenderness. intense
yet frail

heaven
change my sorrow
into song. like barley
(bending and rising again)
so would I, unbroken, rise
from pain

--------------






for pain
was buried here
like mournful ballards sang
by mothers --whose children left them
behind
