Introspective Poems
Behold
by Mahtab Bangalee
Behold; I have no fear of You
Though you are everywhere conspicuously,
though every single moment the whole universe
is not empty from Your High Excellency's presence
Behold; I have no fear of Your presence
though You are the omnipresent Almighty,
though You are a severe destroyer as well as creator,
though You are an Author of harsh punishment
as well as gracious merciful

Uranium
by Lisa Clark
My good girl mouth is used to soap
The rabid foam of rancid hope
I ache instead for languid smoke
To be washed clean with rum and coke
My schoolyard brain too dumb to cope
Its volatile isotope
Decays me slowly from the yoke
A half-life spent in gory choke
