    I read that flamingoes
    have migrated back to Iraq
    after a twenty-year absence,
    and I bend my head,
    imitating the perfect,
    half-hearted Valentine
    shape they make in pairs.
    I wait for you
    at the lake’s edge
    standing on one leg.
    The moon I swallow
    when I open my beak
    and fly home to you
    will be full

    THE WAR IN COLORS
    The digital map on the wall
    displays American wars
    in colors:
    Iraq in purple
    Syria in yellow
    Kuwait in blue
    Afghanistan in red
    Vietnam in green.

    on the map
    is beautiful

    means death for them both

    When a challenge happens,
    killing offers the easiest solution

    Here you have plants and no time to water them.
    There you have time and no plants to water

    As Leonard Cohen said, ‘There is a
    crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.’

    The street vendor offers tourists
    necklaces with divided hearts,
    seashells to murmur the sea’s secrets in your ear,
    squishy balls to make you feel better,
    maps of homelands you fold
    in your pocket as you go on your way
