sunday secret -6-

prayer

save me from my desires
make me forget my dreams
shield me from my impulses
help me erase what might have been

sunday secret -5-

just another day in Iraq

(nyt)

ode to a summer day

scars and souvenirs
saffron sun and salty skin
and a morning hush

i am free falling.

numb with my revelation.
high on my nausea.
my anger is dead.

floating in my own blood.
i am smiling.

colors of my mourning
