war is a madness
that causes too much sadness
let saneness prevail
A blank page blinks
Begging words to appear
I can't seem to think
Months lapse into years

Shake the ink from the pen
Alchemy art from grieving
Change a loss to a win
Turn that mill for demons

Crank out another liter
'Til the pump's run dry
Claw up one last meter
Over that ****'s the sky

Paint me in your canvas
remind the brush my demeanour
the palette, my shade
for I love your world,where
the pain loves to fade

Grace
the pelicans swoop
in a sea of cloudless blue,
tethered to the sky.
petite elm leaves
fell upon the school playground
like wedding confetti

Bangle jangle
Strings of Mitra beads
Ankle-length sheath

Suzanna Hoffs
Painted lips
Shifting hips

Testing the poisons
Of her dance steps
Directly into the camera
