half moon

for abunic

you’re in my eyes again 

the way the sky pours rain upon

the roof of my house.

i read your poems 

& saw remnants of your bones battling 

the crescent shape of the moon your cell has borrowed.

i saw you making an ignition of 

fire from the al fatiha to burn the wood of 

pain that ate the flow of oxygen inside of you.

i saw you withering like the rose my 

grandmother planted in our backyard garden. 

i saw you holding the feet of God to 

lit a revival inside your blood.

i saw you screaming against the 

thing that caused you to throw yourself on

the hard ground. i saw you swimming into 

the arms of death.

everytime the moon becomes half, i see you.
