The Poetry of Dzekashu MacViban

Genesis
І

The unsteady familiar rhythm of known voices
Like some haunting siren song suffocates
My thoughts. Deep within the darkness of
The cave lies a punctured genesis.
With two voices piercing each other
I watched the changing scenes
And, in pure macho fashion, the rib was silenced.

Fragile

A touch of generous pessimism
On a fragile surface
Thaws an over-worked defence.
The mouth that ate itself in sweet sorrow
Told no tales.
Unaware feet sweep late night grass
And dung—
It is judgment day, and the sentence says—
Auto-flagellation.
Who can tell of the world
That lies beneath her savage beauty ?

Deep lines! You got me at it, now that without the fiery politics we savour the profundities of very philosophical moments of the heart and mind! We need more!
