More in Dregs & Other Unreadables

dreaming of muslims

In Italy under the cold alps
she worries about muslims

not in burkas
but in fatigues

the sharpness of their steel
and her own tender throat

as she teaches
small girls to read.

it is easier in Rome
where the red cloaks hide blood stains

and the silly hats
distract her from God's real truth

the sharpness of their words
and her own sad dreams

as she prays
to a small God for peace.

Mmm. I keep rereading this fascinating little slice of life. I like it a lot, I think because of the originality of the commentary on the intersection of religion and politics in a faraway but not so faraway land. (How's that for a run-on sentence?)
