Three poems
1.BE WARY
The path to the mastoid mountain is snaky
the women you meet are not fucking material
you can’t grab the sun shining in their hair
they’re cool but hell-strong, know well how to take care of their wood
so have some charm within the lust-house of your heart
and enjoy the gathering clouds ready to burst
before you cross the distances
or strip naked in the sticks
or write poems on stretches of free way
or make deal with the devil at every turn
be wary of the emptiness ahead
2.ANGELIC MAGIC
Luck awaits me
if I could buy it from
her miracles stores
she gives me three dates
for her call to reach
the higher cosmic forces
she dreams me stand
in the middle of a
tree-lined park
against saffron flowers
flashes of light focus
on my serene face
the shower of gold tempts
a being of light descends
I’m offered a new life
divine abundance
defeat of enemies
and stream of love
if I could pay
for her rituals of
angelic magic
3.NEMESIS
The deities are dumb
so they speak
louder and louder
vie with each other
for godhood
descend from mosque top
to Supreme Court
now await
resurrection
