beneath smoke & sculpture

on Gaza Strip
the warring doesn't stop
between Jew & Palestinian
dispossessed children forment
loam of scarred innards
soul buzzards approach
the aftermath of sex
we had with suicides
of carnage & smoke
covering our nudity
before hot shells bore
our coupling asunder
in archetypal screams
our divided members
decried death's sculpture
of broken bodies
dust-fathered
on the altar
of infinity
