Luce

Mother to three boys, Wife to one man,
and she hunts down Misogynists as much as she can.
So funny and friendly, yet still ready for war,
all of your privilege can't protect you anymore.
Here comes the tongue twister, the ego blister, the Righteous Sister
listen Mister don't even try to diss her.

She's a Tory-bashing, Patriarchy-smashing,
deliverer of many a verbal tongue-lashing.
Equality-fighter, eternal wrong-righter,
the bosses try but they just cannot smite her.
She's Professor X of the homogametic kind.
She's a Hero, a Friend; what an incredible find!

Reverie

Two souls astride a lustrum born,
into their kinship a woven and worn,
tread of the toe, a familiarity,
older than both yet impossible to see.

An eternal bond, at least eternal to me,
for our dissonance leads only to harmony,
as we silently sing this sweet melody,
words are not needed for this reverie.

Plaça de Catalunya

Nocturnal poetry in Barcelona,

dreaming an impossible

lucidity on stone steps

bathed in the neon Gods and

their phosphorous footsoldiers,

lined up to illuminate the word;

so the word can be heard

Above the gentle hum of

steel steeds and the intermittent

rumble of the winds.

Perspectives are changed as

things are put under new sight,

not too bright but dripping

with insight. A gilded night.

A city eternally bathed in Light.

Bass Masters

"Dude they'd be soooo easy to catch from here!"

Surrounded by life, above

and below - dozens of

fish swim freely in the

pier; here life teems

where in other cities

it flounders. They

swim peacefully

amongst themselves,

and all the American

can think is how easy

it would be to kill them.

La Rambla

La Rambla the jugular,

La Rambla the heart,

La Rambla you breath

and tear me apart;

Then put me together,

you're dumb and you're clever;

You hold sway over everything,

except maybe the weather.

You scream Catalunya,

then sell Madrid caps;

You hold the weight of us all,

under strain of collapse;

La Rambla La Rambla,

whatever you do;

Please keep on holding,

and carry us through.
