HI: I am submitting three poems: Invocation of the Dead, Tsunami, and Passover 2004.
------------------------------------------------------
Tsunami
Just a few years since 9-11,
it's all over the Internet, linking headlines, one
after another
bodies stretched on a beach, washed back to shore,
the smell of thousands gone to heaven
as survivors baste a circle of grief for lost
children
and mothers,
fathers, holiday goers at peak-season with an ocean
view,
indigenous peoples extinct below the ground cover,
while the war in the Middle East,
which has absorbed our world with its killing
continues to make a blood sacrifice
for some religious rant or right.
Nature has reclaimed her theatre.
Give succor to the living.
