i gambled with repast,
betting on my faith in nutrition.
i ended up eating crow,
egg on my face in the second row
of the vestibule, wafered by
two pews of nuns, blood spilled
from the sacrifice of hunger for myth.
the wolf and coyote wail, insisting
the moon is the catalyst for change.
i rearrange my beliefs on a rosary,
count blessings one by one, strangling
myself with a tear necklace.
i am famished.
i listen to the wind
as if it could feed
me answers.

if the wind held answers
what would be asking the questions?
i hang wash to dry
under a cerulean blue sky
stretching arms up to catch the
wind, the smell of chlorine strong,
sheets snapping, and I remember
my mother performing the same
duty. funny, to have to come
to a 3rd world country to make
connections from long ago.
skewed telephone lines and there
is no answer but a dial tone
[erk] no dial tone. but a pulsing
silence.

here on the mountaintop
it's all desert
one wind blows
one way sway
nightbirds whoosh with willows
palm fronds extend hope
a wailing world
brushed in the sky

i improvise with arch angels,
bellowing windsong quests
in harmonics.
i extend my voice to falsetto octaves,
claiming the praise of mythical gods.
salvation is the mystic lie.
i will never be rescued from a hollow try
crying servitude, dying to wanton
hurricane eyes.
the voice is a magical instrument.
listen to the mimic of windchimes.
nothing is angelic
except the sound of a wolf howl
and pant -- we wail chants
beneath orion's buckle,
no-one to hear.
no-one to hear.

i can hear your rain
i can feel an earthquake
i can taste the za'atar sprinkled on a plate
hummous and olive oil
i am an earth rotating
between love and sleep
anger and surprise
i eat dinner with midnight strangers
and share jokes with intimate soulfriends
a word with sushi intent
raw amazement
how close we are
