O Anna Niemus Poems

The constitution wrote of separation of church
and state.. Can the heart and mind be cleaved?
Should there be no flowers... or should
schools teach all petals of the flower of Spirit?
...

It pains those who love animals
and Mother Earth to hear prayers
in a Catholic Mass for
'the human family'. Is it time
...

The Babe lay in a manger,
a recessed animals' food table
in a stable
surrounded by animals who sought shelter from the cold, Some time later He would be worshipped by Iranian astrologiers called Magi or wise men,
...

She walked out of the marriage
after some years..
and slipped out of the green coat
of jealousy
...

Trucking living lobsters often entails
their freezing and smashing, losing claws and tails.
Coprophagous shellfish eat the products
of others' entrails.
...

Some drink themselves to sleep
Some eat themselves to dreamy deeps
Some take prescriptions toxic in their effects.
Some read to make their eyes tired
...
