shuhada’

rest now, sweet irish
as unforsaken
more whole than the rest of them
hollerin voice saintly fire
and still unbroken

authenticity
gets killed by degree
behind each smile’s treachery
i wish my face wasn’t this
that you would see me

one year, three months, twenty-nine days

muteness sticks to the tongue like velcro
seals the lips like a zipper
this song has neither melody nor lyric
only air sirens accompaniment

mortality

stare down time’s barrel
breathless pause, the hammer click
bang! fornevermore

empty thus

bodhidharma stares at the wall
time ferments, goes sour like milk
it’s another air-raid warning

people go down to the shelter
people stare at a shabby wall
people drink up soured time

karma, you are a fucking bitch
