negotiating spoils
aftermath of picnic, ants surrender
handcuffed, lined up
bunkers abandoned
diplomats take notes
prepare for simultaneous expansion
what was a molehill
becomes a nuclear threat
onward
once the door is opened,
time to jump through
black tie
polished toenails
smile into the camera
adjust accent
savoir faire

I know this is cheating because I wrote it yesterday
but I just couldn't resist it.
I wrote it to my son.
---
the flute works because it is hollow
and the heart only works by means of empty spaces
music works by virtue of silence
the space you left in my heart
allows it to beat a sad perpetual tattoo
a pulse of longing and remembrance.
the chambers are empty and wishing for you
you were a child then and void of experience
what is taken away is as blessed as what is given.
you were ripped from my loins
in a moment of lust and promise
the flute works only because it is hollow.
but I just couldn't resist it.
I wrote it to my son.

i know this is cheating
because i read it yesterday
my hollowed brain
reverberates with your son
and your torn loins
sobs line the empty womb
of man's history

my kids have all assured me
through art and knock knock jokes
they loved my womb
kick, point, push, elbow
they loved my womb
they loved the sounds
of belly craving food
and swishes of sudden liquid intake
they loved the passive smoke
of exotic plants
and hints of Peter Max impressions
they begged for more jazz
and less popeye
they spoke in grunts
and tuvan suggestion
birth was fine
and they agreed to appear
while the conversation
grew
from shove to chew
