Phoenicurus
how do you know
you’re a phoenix
when you’re born from ashes?
naked and fragile
fallen out of the sky
into a grey abyss
without the memory
of what you are
closer to death than life
what is left
when you’ve left
your past behind?
when your identity
has been plugged from you
like your feathers
nothing
nothing but silence
and darkness
only a spark
beyond the realm ...

Human Writes, A Poem About Protecting Human Rights
You spit "Nay"
in our "Ayes"
to express
your oppress-
sive nature.
Nothing new-
old tea brewed;
spring cleaning-
first inning.
Soul-less laws
abolish
human rights,
to sell slaves.
Bordered walls
paved with blood-
stained bodies,
buried below.
