oppositional poetry, prose, polemic

Colleen M. Farrelly

fat drops prattle on

the roof antagonizing

and punching my backyard ferns

powerless to fight

back like U.N. peacekeepers

standing watch in Kigali

April’s gentle breeze

coaxes young bromeliads

to show their reds and purples

from a winter’s sleep

I drink in the scent of life

restoration after war
