Why teach the hungry?
Soft butterflies made with smiles
Flight in dawning light

April 17, 2020 Iceberg Love #BitterShadows #CoronaAge #poetry #love #iceberg
Remember when distance was bad
Gentle caresses enfolded our love
No one minded true hearts made glad
Remember when distance was bad
Love in real space is just a fad
Do not touch me without a glove
Remember when distance was bad
Gentle caresses enfolded our love

April 16, 2020 Red Masquerade Ball #poetry #BitterShadows #CoronaAge
New year traveler comes again
Dressed to kill in stardust glitter
She dances with all in sad refrain
New year traveler comes again
After the dance comes endless pain
Blame the goat in tears most bitter
New year traveler comes again
Dressed to kill in stardust glitter

October 4, 2017 Kelly’s Funeral #Boy #death #funeral #Africa #Uganda
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Three days of charcoal for the end
/
Prayers heard by all five hundred ears
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Fervent pastors harangue with fears
/
Near huts did the body descend
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Three days of charcoal for the end
/

/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Three days of charcoal for the end
/
Casket flowers blown by our chairs
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with fears
/
Twenty came to Christ without spears
/
Many stated Kelly did ascend
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Three days of charcoal for the end
/

/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Three days of charcoal for the end
/
Poor little boy of so few years
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Women watched from mats men from chairs
/
Rain clouds waited for the last amen
/
Five Hundred eyes watched some with tears
/
Three days of charcoal for the end

A tradition in Africa is to burn charcoal for three days to bring the spirit back to their family ground. The dead are buried by their family hut.
Kelly is the boy in the red shirt. Location: Gulu Children’s Home of Mercy.

Ghosts get on Metro
Unseen they ride endlessly
Other riders sleep

May 25, 2015 Red Flowers #haiku #MemorialDay #poetry #NoGreaterLove
Red flowers weep on
Sons, fathers, brothers fallen
Across worlds of blood
/
Concord to Nepal
Join daughters, mothers, sisters
Red flowers weep on
/
Toasts to absent friends
Temporary solace left us
Red flowers weep on
/
Words fail to fill hearts
Pillows wet with sorrows tears
Red flowers weep on
/
Red flowers weep on
Grounds with blossom life salutes
Stone remembrances
/
