Tankas of a changing world

1. A hole

 

     Clawed hands do not care

     for mothers’ desperate cries,

     tattered sinew left

     where the beating heart of this,

     where Humanity once sat
 

2. A hope

 

     I have seen the world

     tattered and at war, ending

     safely from my home

     Humanity seems evil

     Yet I know it’s still good. Please. 
 

3. While you live

   

     Fog hugs to the earth,

     sticky with the honeyed truth

     of this changing world.

     While you fold laundry, you don’t

     want to think of the children

    And the air tastes of raw linen 

    And I watch a million suns explode 

    In the distant horizon 

     

    And footsteps, 

    Beating and beating and beating 

    Like some twisted wardrum
