Enter Minos

“I knew you would do this to me!

You kept me from the hills of Spain
and locked up in a book
to heap desires upon my soul in pain.

You had a joke at me,
from beyond,
at my shouts into the black
which echoed back,

and it split your sides
to see my eyes
turned to the skies
when all the manna farms lay fallow.”

“I have not laughed in my entire life——

and I know that, once,
a dark cloud descended down,
and out stretched a hand holding spatula
and Burger King crown,

and you ignored and fear-faltered——
I heard you trip and fall at the altar:

there were hills in your own backyard.

I don’t believe you, if you were so worried
you could’ve posted Palestine Instagram Stories.”
