With possibility of tainted blood, of self destruction
Of women who hid with their sisters

Sing like every tomorrow is infinite

The darkness of
The past frightens me
For I once lost
Myself, trapped in
Society’s idea of perfection

In an unnamed grave,
a few centuries after death,
when they dig out my skeleton -
from the pelvis and the skull

sleep soundly, as the warmness blankets you...
these chilling, dark nights freeze hope to despair

Poetry by Karo Ska
a red tulip in a vase,
its final petal ready
to drop: a six year old
child falls asleep, dreams
of six petals wrapped
around her

one night at bath time,
my mother tries scrubbing
the brown out of me, grating
a ridged sponge over & over
my skin, until
i'm crying

The bells chime,
The lyre, harp, and trumpet;
The notes are the rays
Of the moon

Love expanded like a thought in my head
circling like a snake made of smoke
whispering of an endless hunger.
