cucumber cleansing
a poem
cucumbers invaded my dream
they were everywhere, in abundance
in the drawers I drew them out of
in my mind's adaptability
on the vine in the garden
they told me the simplest truths
that I endured
distractions in the gawky rhythm of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony
cutting through them, slicing, chopping
until I could receive
faultless recipe
with clear cleansing characteristics
my subconscious spoke to me
among spiralled verdure branches
that we still have a lot ahead of us
and much to overcome
on this erratic way
to the higher self

Judged and Condemned
JUDGED AND CONDEMNED No trial! The law is handed down to all of us, but I have seen that the curse of being a woman is that even when the man flouts the law, somehow the woman sustains the damages. Hilarious, huh! Not at all if you are that woman.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.
