& strange fruit poplar bound<br />
Evokes my mother’s tale of lady day dying<br />
during her rounds & a night<br />
over the Ernakulam jetty<br />
with the diesel jasmine smell of tropic hot<br />
& the way one wore her hat at that ramshackle hotel<br />
But what it evokes most is how I can listen to Billie now<br />
& not break down as she sang my sorrows<br />
deeper than I knew I felt<br />
for that sadness and sorrow is not my day tomorrow<br />
only something that once shaped me<br />

/>I’ll try to tell you everything I know.<br /><br />I find I cry at stupid things these days,<br />wiping surreptitious tears away at<br />the end of every television show.<br />This isn’t how it was supposed to go.<br />My love, the future, has arrived at last.<br />Crazy time is spinning honey fast,<br />that is, unless it’s dripping acid slow.<br />21st century started this way:<br />Supreme Court declared democracy’s death.<br />Some motherfuckers blew some buildings up.<br />They tell me silence is the best thing to say,<br />but great lungfuls of music can’t be corrupt -<br />each day is a poem, created by breath.<br /> <br /><br /> March 11
