frozen river memory
tho the cracking is real
and not recent
joining the rest of my narrow
historical bag of references
i've swallowed hard
shouldering skis
i hide above rolling green hills
abundance
cloaking misnamed urban definitions
from riviere des prairies/francophone/anglophone
.....hegemony
(aboriginals shoved again to the wind)
watching every north-bound empty rail
of silent whistles
prods another voice
.....upon and within
your last touch
cold
now

sand sculptures from gaza
touched by a hundred brown hands
beach figures gently formed
loving forms
of adolescence
like in santa monica or the jersey shore
the grit of a shared future
possible?
who knows
deferred
neath the crush of tanks and boots and shrapnel
kicked in and dispersed
piling up with the shattered doors of baghdad
& all the complicit baseless doublespeak
replacing the justice
of reasoning
