change



















with garments of silky humility
you entered my orchard
tasting and eating from trees
i planted and watered

with my own sweat and blood
but soon you cut open fences
of all four sides of my grove
like that military enemy

implementing Tamil genocide
unclothed now you also invited
strange men to my teak bed
making it comical for them

driving me into neighbourhood
new and derelict to be serviced
by the Edmonton food bank
and other drop in centres
