"Post-Urban Planning," "Untitled (for Donald Trump, 4/12/16)," and "From the Violin of Winds"

hunger or exhaustion? thirst or panic?
amnesia sparked my creativity, gestures
from a foreign language, my ribs keep wanting to flip open
unaware my feathers are long gone,
my bones a mix of libraries and waste sites

When four or more are gathered 
to bleach shattered dreams,
cleanse violent need, 
the majesty of mob
absorbs the incognito sin.
