      Five Poems

      May 1, 2022

      If I call myself unlovable, I am, practically; if I say itenough times: unlovable. Then, like practical magic, I’m hollow as old garlic; I’m distance-skinned.I’m a long, mean package, a terror-dyke, a nag, a squinting, slut-spun hag—it’s easy, really

      Unlearnable Lessons on My Father’s Deathbed

      Mar 21, 2017

      I was at my father’s side much of the time in his final weeks, a witness to both the gifts and miseries of being near death. Nurses came and went, patient, long-suffering. They sat beside him for hours at a time, dousing spongy lollipops in water and

      Within Overlooked - Al Amin

      Super Corona

      No, no, no…………………. 

      I screamed, so did my family, and friends! 

      Killing, raping, torturing with intense power and hatred - 

      On me, on people surrounding me for no reasons. 

      Unexpected dirty horrible things on my Mum, 

      Unexpected dirty horrible things on my sisters and others, 

      In front of me - a me - tightened with ropes,

      Got to be seen what’s happening live." 

      That was not the end! 

      Everything taken notoriously against their wills, 

      And then! And then
