“i want more ‘men’
with flowers falling from their skin.
more water in their eyes.
more tremble in their bodies.
more women in their hearts
than
on their hands.
more softness in their height.
more honesty in their voice.
more wonder.
more humility in their feet.
–– less”

“My brother was born a soft whistle:
quiet, barely stirring the air, a gentle sound.
But I was born all the hurricane he needed
to lift - and drop- those that hurt him to the ground.”
― The Poet X

“w for war (1)
I
wasn’t a helmet
I wasn’t a boot
I wasn’t a mortar-shell
I wasn’t a tank
I
wasn’t a commander
I wasn’t a soldier
a minefield
barbed wire
an embankment, not me
I was a bit of a photograph, small, with no corners
in the left-hand breast pocket
over the smashed heart of a conscript.”
