Residential Block - 2024
Unnatural Landscape 2012
The occupation used cement for unnatural purposes. This material, from which we build our homes to take shelter and provide us with safety and security from the cold and heat, has been made murderous, their missiles turning ceilings into rubble on the heads of the people who had been living under them.
Death Has a Heart of Stone
O death, beware thyself!
Beware the dead
and their loved ones.
Beware:
The poet,
What the poem says,
Letters,
and the word.
Beware.
For you are alone, so alone.
You have no father,
Nor mother,
Nor child,
Nor brother, nor sister.
Beware:
The children
Not finished breastfeeding,
Not yet crossed the distance to the breast.
Beware their voices.
Beware:
Death
White shrouds
Raised hands
Gathered masses
Mourners
Coffee
A single date
Mothers’ ululations
Beware,
Beware,
O loner.
