Souqs<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the souqs of Arabia,
\nI admired the ruined men
\nCrying effortlessly
\nInto gaudy doorways.
\nI had spent the day
\nmapping the territory
\nOf my hallucinations
\nAnd I envied the reality
\nOf their situation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Berries<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work my fingers to the bone unraveling
\nThe convoluted brambles that connect
\nMy rivals, a fine bunch of fools, our hearts
\nAre berries hanging purposefully on
\nThe threads of our ambition, ripening
\nIn the confusion that she tended to,
\nDilating, jeopardizing the restraints
\nOf ignorance; – demanding her love with
\nThe bribery of sacrifice.\u00a0 I clench
\nMy hands in prayer dripping scarlet streams,
\nShe kisses my eyes then uncups my fists
\nAnd says that ‘wrath is your salvation from
\nThe brooding undergrowth of earthly yearning.’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Broken Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the roadside
\nI saw a body dismembered
\nInto useless segments,
\nThe entrails of a broken
\nPomegranate stained the road,
\nPicked at by underhanded
\nVultures.\u00a0 I gestured, \u2018young man,
\nWould you like me to end this disgrace
\nAnd bury you from sight?\u2019
\nHis head answered raspingly,
\n\u2018It\u2019s kind of you to offer,
\nBut leave me be,
\nWhen the vultures have feasted,
\nAnd all that remains
\nAre bitter pips;
\nI will piece myself together, –
\nAnd then, I will be a man.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
