Makes You Angry

All I need is you

And low natural light infiltrating the room

 

We often play pretend in our minds and while we think

We think lightly of our due dates, more if we’re on time

 

I know I missed one day and saw the grass turn gray

And though the sun still shined through the clouds that May

I never could forgive myself for missing your day

But I saw a lot of beauty for you ...

#3 (sister mine)

 

 

Sister mine.

A perfect

spite-jewelled child.

 

Eyes and smokes

rolled, over

Frayed but firm,

trapping us

in warm blood.

by my code, I'm impressed
to find how feature-rich a brother, you might make.

AMAA - A REALLY GREAT TEACHER

          AMAA - A REALLY GREAT TEACHER

I know Amaa,

You taught me, how to love?

When you take care of me,

When I was a small child.

 

I know Amaa,

You taught me, how to make sacrifices?

When I ate and you don't

When there was no grain at home.

 

I know Amaa.

You taught me, how to read and write?

When you compels me every evening,

To write my name, when I ...
