O Anna Niemus Poems

Black Hawk Down
Sikorsky profits up
Shuttle Blown Apart
Lockheed profiteers
...

They dropped fiery napalm
over rice paddies
and trees of napalm
and on Sunday
...

between God and him
He wanted no intermediary
No one telling him what to do
No one reading his diary
...

said the bomber pilot
I don't give a f**k
as he released more napalm fire
onto Kim Phuc
...

My neighbor's yard is running the sprinkler
... dewdrops of grace

She's violating the water laws..
...

Side by side, the church belltower
and the mosque minaret
Birds make new nests in the caves
of each
...

In front of the restaurant
bright flowers grow..
while inside in the
freezer
...

What are the signs of
an occupied country
dominated by war wagers?
...
