After the Bumrush

~After the Bumrush~

She rallied herself in the a.m.
to see him, tussled and still
reeling from the eve's consumption,
she knew if she didn't arrive he'd be blue.

One shoe on, then two, haranguing
through metro doors and howling
trains. Schlepping stairs. Pressing
hard against cold winter air,

only to see his face and know
he was well-too. She promised
herself their's was but a moments
interlude-a random consideration

in the brink of discussion and
dinner drinks. She had forgotten
her scarf, he thought purposefully,
alas accidentally so. With no

ideal in mind, he returned,
scarf in hand and whispered.
His voice permeated her, it
was reminiscent of a father's

wise counsel in secret impasses.
Thinking, mulling, head wracked,
what not to do, what to do, she
could not decide. Uttered a prayer

skyward-what should she do?
With quickened pace tapping a
short note she thought just to
say thanks. He thought to say hi.

FUTURE is facilitating an unprecedented event in late September 2010 that will advance reconciliation and nation building in the country of Iraq through the power of women initiatives and international cooperation. It will provide humanitarian service and outreach to widows, orphans, and the handicapped. It will heal the emotional scars of both Iraqi and U.S. women who have lost loved ones due to war and violence. It will bring together women from different cultures and backgrounds and unite them as sisters and allow them to hug, heal, communicate, and build bridges for future business and educational opportunities which will elevate women in society and reduce suffering.

We Are Not Alone, D'Niko.avi

a tally of angelic causes, dana queen

yes, in retrospect, earmarked
personal bench warrants
may be jottings in memoirs
of angels' tallied careers. heavenly
scorecard keepers render
assignment lists to check off,
and fling their successes toward
some hierarchy of celestialism.

leave occasions for us - to stand
firm - as sojourners of truth,
hearing whispers that proclaim...sitting
may have befitted our moment the best.
So we sit in glazed reverence.
Accolades ensue as to "Why?

Don't we have convictions?" Yet,
storm barricades waving flags

in proclamation on momentous occasions
we are noted pontificators, illogical
amusement seekers. Faith's ascriptions become
blind endeavors, endless questions speak
close-to-the-edge cautionary potential
of cliffed hangings, acceptance is escapist
flagrant irreverence too risky, but elective
humility is ineffectually pompous.

skywary gazes decry over-bearing
anticipations - lowered eyes
self-inflicted mutilations with negative
renderings. Ambivalence an under
achievement, contentment lacking ideals.
Rage unfortunatism of mind that seeks reproach.


In all, our guardian's tallies must result
in some unimportant discourses with God.
failed assignments, where conscripts succumbed.
Leave the curious to wonder... "Are
angels given work related warnings
and then reassigned other social
experiments before termination?"

If so, "Do you think we can learn
who is next in line and then warn them?"
