Black Rain
there’s~no sun
today
Tomorrow ‘s
sure to bethe same
Another prince
another queen
another king
has died
children bare witness
they shed tears
they mourn
being born
a mother cries . . .
she cradles
her firstborn's head
the blood trickles
from a hole
made bymusket fire
down her bosom ~
to settle
in her womb
she cries
her ducts
run dry
women . . .
bow their heads
in solemn prayer
for husbands
and lovers
her heart~
b e a t s
no one fathoms
the devil . .
has taken
her heart this day
she holds her head
and
screams at the sky
T H E R E ‘ S N O G O D .. !
today she walks away
from her religion
the one prayer
she begged of godhe denied . .

The sky’s overcast~
for a prince

like Y'shua
why hast thou forsaken me
and

from the skies
this day
The heavens

like tattoos
gained at wardance

ooze
of the whip
and
to the sting
of the stick

I can't breathe~
and
still I know
I will not break
y o u c a n k i l l m e
my pain
is nonnegotiable
it's not
for you to take
I would not succumb
