MOTHERS
MOTHER’S DAY CANCELLED CHIBOK NIGERIA
1st day warm enough to brave my bench
Phantom children scream under trees
Camp resumes in 7 weeks Soon they will
be gnashing their little teeth in every crevice
at U of T 1 boy threatened to slit my throat
late last Summer as I cobbled words on this
very bench
At this moment my main concern is that the
world pitch in to free the girls kidnapped en
masse in Nigeria The same way they did for
the missing plane Couldn’t the ships & choppers
be loaned? How about a day or 2 for the missing
girls? 12-18
Head terrorist laughed giddily: I will sell them as
slaves Infidel women must be sold as slaves or
married off even if 9 Is there a connection between
the small boy wielding a knife & the growing violence
seeping into the cracks? Our Canada was home to
a mass stabbing Graduation party Calgary 2014
In Nigeria President Goodluck’s wife Patience had a
woman arrested for impersonating a mother of the missing
girls The Mum’s were busy so they sent an envoy Patience
was slighted In the mean-time plaintive sounds of girlsong
can be heard as the mother’s approach in restless dreams
