From 2007
White Dove ------------
A dove in flight landed on the gift of strangers.. detonation.. to give up life.. so young
clusterbomb playground childrens body parts flung far and wide
screaming jets bombed valley walls rumble & cave whimpering noises the marching wounded the dead in the street
the children shiver with fear brother vows to never give up the fight tanks plough through the mud brick houses silence comes over the courtyard people frantic...dig them out
food by day, death by night monsters have come to save humanity with money, guns, oil, opium & love of god throw bread crumbs in the streets of pain
the war comets they spray the earth craters form baskets of death carried shoulder high furey for the dead
a newborn shall be blessed loved and nurtured, ..in time will carry the guns of love
the hero worship the dove of freedom face down in a watery grave.

Still Life ----------
What to do with reality it lurks larger than insanity climbing a hill to jump down and kill you remember the laughter the joy all that was meant to invite the family to enjoy the memories of youth, innocence free of guilt free of wrong jumping for joy What went wrong ?
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Butterfly ---------
blossoms laid out mushroom cloud so high last raised spoon of soup the wind throws hard the mother & the child cry

There's a lot of power there. Good images. They provoke a feeling I do not want to feel, but which are necessary.
