Milky Galia Poems

Alive! Yes, I am alive
Though my Body stretched and worn
The Heart heavy and sore
Feeling used and abused
...

Awaiting

Two years and running but still standing still
Standing while waiting amid the highest hills
...

Buy me a casket and bury me six-feet deep
Parade the White Flowers and the Candlesticks
Tell Mama and Papa do not cry
I will Kill Myself and be Alive
...

Dark is the Well to the bottom of my heart
Deeper than Joseph's cistern in Dothan
Should you try to fetch a water for a drink?
Where moss and mosquitos give life and live.
