 The Tribal Leader

–

sits in black

on Her Portico

listening to the starlings

sputter & cackle

 –

one black sleeve

fringed

illuminates The Red

 –

Laser Glitter Spot

 –

zooming through a nearly full

wine glass

of primitive essence

Now it is The Evening

what has She accomplished

Today?

–

Her Teenage Daughter

has the TV on

but Her Mother is away

removed

from a show on Muslim Fundamentalists

–

The Mother is out in The Evening Sun

on Her Portico

eyeballing

The Red Laser Glitter Spot

&

sipping

from

It
