I was crafted for you long ago of bronze Carried by Egyptians like fine silk I was once the ankh pressed against your pain We crossed the Nile while pharaohs slept in lotus dreams The desert was once our home and Cleopatra, our Queen While the queen courted Caesar and General Ptolemy ruled We clung to the fevered silver of the stars But now is...

Our Nile
"Do not stand by my grave and weep", they said. Here's something she would have said instead. "Hey, smile, all of your smiles are beautiful." Hers was more than that- contagious- magical. She would have placed some affirmatives, Lifted up some heads, made a few initiatives. Would have shaken up something within, For she preferred happy losses over wins. She is a loss. A...

Lady of the Nile
Beauteous lass Thy wounds are bleeding! Crowning crowning where thou go on? Mothers weep and babies feeding Crowds on crowds and trumpet blow on! Wearest thou thy wedding garments Then which grief thy heart thus torments? Darkling darkling lonesome pathways And between them Thou were standing! Train of stars with Moon and all fays Goddess Dream on earth...

Cheeky Little Nile Bugalugs
-Cheeky Little Nile Bugalugs- I could fall on a turntable and raise the roof. Let the beat drop, but what’s the point scallywags? Crickets chirp unwanted truths into my ears at night. Leaf the poor sauerkraut alone. Saunter through the valley of the shadow of death. Feel ecstatic to run the entire pilgrimage’s course. Safe bets aren’t the way...

The way she moves to...
