Alien

Inspired by Nisei Babies in Concentration Camp

The sky asunder

Tears innocence

Into tattered shreds

Of youth and warmth

When mother made

The day seem bright

But under the night,

Under the black banner

Under the billowing smoke

Of the self righteous snake

All you are

Is nothing more

Than dispensable

A statistic, an anomaly

To be banished

From the face of the earth

And thrown back

To the sky

To drown

In a river of injustice

To know nothing more

Of the sorrows you suffer

To be a glossed over page

In a text book, full of names

Of proud, ambitious men

That buried their enemies

Under the corpses of their children

And hung their heads

Under the mantle

As trophies of valour

A solemn, pitiful example

Of the fact

That mass media

Is fodder

For genocide

Jeremy's Body Part poem

Little Wing

White palm, sways in the breeze
To the beat of a softer, sweeter heart
Than bitterer weepers, wheeze

Adorned in just a halo
Low, around her mane
Heralding a quaint pitter patter,
Like glass kissed by rain

Gentle porcelain  paws
Never tell no lies
To the winds that blow
Lovingly cradled
In the ebb and flow
Of alabaster to and fro

And in the waking hour
Stumbling, unkempt
The white flag rises
From atop lofty tower
Of silken fortress
From which she’d dreamt

Ivory Lion’s Tooth
She greets the sun
Swaying so softly,
As Cap’N Jack
With his sweet, 
Sweet rum

Leaving fluffy tufts
Dispersed as seeds
Woven into wood
For fledgling’s feeds

An homage to rapture
Innocence, overjoyed
Infantile requests
Yet conniption, 
not employed

Content in only knowing
A simple, charming 
Rallentando
Is what she’s showing

Tartarus (a poem inspired by fever)

Tartarus

Rise and writhe
with no respite,

pallor white
in agony

clamor, cling
to the ledge

As forsaken as Sisyphus

Upon eternity’s edge

Seep now in the sanguinous sinew,

Viscous venom licking veins,

in derelict delirium, dessicating,

Dissecting
This millennium...

Infinite, in this minute

Mumbled scents, sounds

Murmured amidst

The ceaseless span
of stinging hours

Stacked like sediment

Ground to dust

By relentless eternity

Crumbling to the beat,

Of an incessant torrent

Crashing downward

Like thunderous steps
Nagging, gnawing,

Wrathful, ravenous
Fenrir, ferocious

Swallower of sun,

Paints sky blacker

Than endless night

Longer than Scylla's

Suffocating embrace

Growing taut,
Sinking fangs,

Deeper in dream,

The memory,
This moment,

Cracking glass
Shatters

As a defeated wave,

Breaking
Upon the shore

Annihilated

In somnium (into a dream)
