With all my blood
I love them
Terrible machines
of lust and fire
Demons growling
Hurtle through space-time
beautiful death

Katherine and I rode
bicycles in Pune
Her father, only a child,
ran messages behind enemy
lines, fighting the Germans
Her mother nursed an American soldier
in a house, converted to a hospital
In his gratitude
he stole her a bicycle
She had the last of Dutch royalty
in her blood
and spoke of an aboriginal telling her
that every where he looked, all he
saw was,
"white ghost seeking"

STASIS (by Reginald Bryant)
Follow your breath.
When it comes (and it always does).
It will come as a fire that stops short of immolation
and then quickly recede into a slow burn.
The pain will be exquisite.
Listen for the hum of machines
who never yearn or tire
or eat, or sleep or want.
Focus on that soothing drone of industry.
On the safety of things far removed from that fever.
