O Anna Niemus Poems

Morticians paint
the lips of corpses.

Enbalmers inject
...

Hexagonal snowflakes
their weapons dropped
as they melted into
dewdrops
...

Oh the leafroller did not
ask the tree for permission
to take the wrapping
but he provided his own
...

Please tell us Sarah Palin
as the full moon was palin
How many women animals
were you arrow-impalin?
...

Zillions of animals murdered
for human appetites
the worst of all holocausts
For living near brutal humans
...

Frog kissing by the queen:
unconditional and universal love
becomes the magic wand turning
the powerless into a plenipotentiary
...

In his life of rescuing animals
he had encountered
veterinarians who vivisected,
veterinarians who hunted
...

April is oft the time
for the tendrils
of new vine roots
but love at any time
...
