uncanny valley

the uncanny valley is a curtained
alcove
behind which
someone has died.

is it a friend or a stranger?

should you anticipate shock
followed by grief? or
relief followed
by shame?

you do not know,
and so
you
suffer.

with all my heart,
say,

'I did all I could,'

i can close my eyes
—at last!—
at
the end
of the day.

hand of misery.

Dresden

We can neither remember
nor forget what we never knew.

We can neither forgive nor avenge.
We can neither grieve nor honor.

We can only wander like lost souls
in an underworld hollowed out by deceit,
a people untethered from the horrors of
a family history stolen by a cadre of
shameless liars.

the little houses

the little houses stare
back at me.
peaceful.
attentive.
as if all I have
to do is reach out
and they'll take us in.

some day

some day
some warm place

i will curl up
