do you know how long
it takes until your scent fades
the taste of you dulls?

on time
here we see, Sunday
who stole Friday, Saturday?
today a fresh sheet

n.b. Days merge, nights blur, feverish hours melt.

Dream
no fleeting moment
we spoke at length of things passed
your visit prolonged

on Ukraine
after days and nights
dreaming of release from fear
Kherson wreathed in smiles

n.b. Could this the beginning of the end?

on time
when would suit you best?
no time like the present, but
not on a school night

n.b. Time is tight, but there are limits.
on time
we're free or busy
lucky coincidences
a wonder we met

n.b. How many unknown paths intersect in a lifetime? How many known paths divide?

on Iran
young people have lost
fear of authority's fist
new freedom riders

n.b. During my recent travels in the US I saw a statue of a woman sitting calmly. I saw the image repeatedly: in the Capitol in Washington DC; in Memphis TN; in Birmingham AL.
The woman was Rosa Parks. Her determined protest, to sit where she wanted to on a bus, regardless of the state law at that time that segregated people by skin coloration, fired up people tired of being oppressed, tired of being downtrodden. Her sitting down was a signal to others to stand up to inhuman authority.
In Iran, the people most oppressed by the theocracy, women, particularly young women, are tired of giving in too.

on fear
why not come along
face life's dangers together
not you, nor I. Us.

on time
a moment enough
clues, questions, sufficient
to go look for more

n.b. A queue, half a conversation.

water never runs up hill
