SHEEMA KALBASI Nothing Nothing is all I am Nothing overloading nothing Closing the doors, Opening an extra into an empty space, Nothing ensues but a further war. The bombs, lights that blind and Damascus, Burning after Tehran. Sisters calling in despair, Brothers callous the arms of infidels. Nothing happens But children die, and journalists are filming for a deadline. Nothing comes after nothing but I, Kneel, cry for nothing, and still the no shepherd birds burn at flight. Nothing happens. I walk by the Central Park Next to nothing, and the no flight zone is Just nothing yet throat slides over throat, Bullets shut and blood drops. Here nothing happens But I write to keep nothing from overloading nothing.

"Poetry endangers the established order in the soul."

UMA ASOPA Camouflage Her flame will consume her to ash, but it's her own - sacred, devilish or disowned. She will stand by the parapet, stare at the fading afternoon, and watch him approach. Before the bell rings she is downstairs all smiles - washed of dips, downs, and streaks of smoke. She is a tray of tea now blended, flavored and fresh - a connoisseur's favorite import.
