Now That

NOW THAT

Now that the struggle exists
in commemoration meetings in museums
Now that soldiers can play with their dogs
Now that our heroes sing hymns in heavens
Now my love is even !

As the aspiring write story or song
or mothers play ping-pong too long
Now that the toys of children are iPhones
and directors create dancing clones
Now we know bones have no gender

Now we know hunger is only a lesson
and rage a rampant note going past
Now our eyes are but mirrors
through incoherent dark ages
Now we cast missing Light

So may I smell a good curry
or dwell with arum lilies
So may I hear my pitbull snoring
or squeeze a warm hand in the morning
Now that Goddess closes in !
