The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for December 2008


the assyrians on
the avenue beckon
urging us to
another try at
connection with
time-
       lessness

ashurbanipal's
home movies

pazuzu and the
destroyer
              in
nostalgic garb
the carvings

bless us
and smile past
us at their
future
        confident
and full of pride

while
we seek solace

and find it
per-
     haps in
this moment or
that
      from time
to time
