I cannot validate your parking, Sir;
My rubber stamp cannot make you more real, or less.
Your reflection doesn’t swim in my pond, only fish.

Flowers rape my nose with firebrands.
My body, Pollen’s punching bag.
Mold frolics with Satan at Ground Zero,
and Benadryl unravels thought.

Butterflies clap
and sip on the dead
who dance in their hurricane,
while shepherds cast pebbles
in glassy ponds
and smile at their tsunamis.

Digital tears flood my monitor,
a maelstrom of torment.
Knights with tarnished swords,
princesses and broken tiaras,
undiscovered love lost.

beating this brain to pulp,
bullet in the gun robbing my focus,
threatening to starve my beloved.

Lebanon,
Battleground of four religious gods,
Scarred by doubtful blessings from heaven.
Longing for One who will restore her mighty cedars.

Sailing currents of air above oceans of cotton,
I see your ancient peaks challenging the sun,
Reminding me of my proper stature.

Coffee,
black silk sending gossamer threads toward heaven,
incense from a thousand mugs
burning away the fog of war;
my liquid inspiration.
