Eleven poems to Osama Bin laden

1.

are we not dissimilar you and I/ hiding in plain sight for ten years/ luxuriously overlooked/ not abandoned/ not remembered/ tomorrow's obituaries tattoed on burnt skin/

too dark/ too dark to write now that you're gone/
too dark/ too dark to write now that I'm gone /

are we not dissimilar you and I/ we inhabit the same street/ we anticipate the same milkman/ and the same drunken idiot to knock the milk over / through the windows/ we see the same bodies that are not there/ the same surrendered place that letters arrive to/

the same dust will settle on our sunken bodies/ in the same submerged chest of drawers/ adorned with the same unspecified carvings/

the mandala of our life/

when yours is disturbed/ so is mine

2.

we are falling apart peacefully/ perfectly/

our glow-in-the-dark skin is humming saliently in the constant evening/ as the exterminators make their rounds/ under another broken moon

we are blinded/ from feigning a light that grew too strong/ we are blinded/ caught up in a pointless supernova of seduction/

our wings ablaze/ we are moths/ radiating briefly

before being terminated/ in the questionable stillness of a philosophers candlelight

3.

do you/ like me/ look towards that mountain/

unsure if it can know/ where it began/

and if possible/ where it will end/

and at the same time/

if it can know that it has ended already/

no more volcanic hellos and goodbyes/

or longings towards conversations/ where you open up/

and say; we can be the same/ rock hard and loving/

all questions made for us/ and answers/

definitely/ always there/

growing for no reason at all/

4.

do you ever justify dreams/

do you ever think it is your task to forgive the sun/

do you ever find the time to write poetry/

(letter)

cat vomit

still adorns

the antechambers of my house

a guzzling alien entity

waits with mock egyptian pride

for me

to feed it it's next poem

howareyou?

tellmewhatgoeson?

twentyone-round missile salutes

five underground nuclear detonations

and a hug

9.

(single bullet theory)

entry wound: second world trade center/ high shoulder

exits through collective shame and latent paranoia, shaved chest/ mid-region/ around the second costal cartillage/ re-enters in open cavity way below colonial history/ scurries around only to dart out into the left ear of a laughing buddha/ muscles through and shoots off into the dark matter at the center of every universe/

(floating polystyrene tombstone)

remember my smiles

they are a now a big smile

in a face of stone
