Saiom Shriver Poems

December 28th:
he feast of the Holy Innocents
.. those 2 year old baby boys
slaughtered by Herod
...

Why should I rip
from tree fruit unripe.
Let it fill slowly
and swell with rain.
...

Baby boy chicks
in San Diego
sent alive
through a chipper
...

As the Ganges
in monsoon rains
loses its boundaries
so does the ego
...

The many frequencies
of seven seas
Shallow waves pound
without surcease
...

The Baby Jesus..
omnipotent in His innocence...
as the Magi astrologers brought Him
myrrh and gold and franincense.
...
