A Mouthful of Cake-poem
Brides and grooms
shove fists full of white icing
into each other’s mouths.
The video implores,
“Eat cake.
Be sweet. Be sweet.”

Dates and sugar
Coconuts and mangos
Arrive in the boats
The sailors say
“Eat cake.
Be sweet. Be sweet.”
When this life is done with me
That may be the time to
have my cake
and eat it too.

On the Death of a Stranger
A pause in the rain
The sky remains colorless
Drops on the window
Dry by the breath of the wind
Stream is now bending westward

Not looking forward, not looking back
along that long imaginary line of time
that runs through consciousness.
The entirety is held
at that momentary axis
that anchors the spin
of a planet, star or
dervish in Konya
The vertical moment
which pours
past present future
into that soft ball
at the belly
of the universe
And then we return
Back to our regularly scheduled programming
This opinion is valid within 2% [...]
