Xylophone

literature, literature promotion, nakba, poetry 1 Minute

Oh,
it’s as if the IDF were tapping mallets
on

the bones of Palestinian bodies, each skeleton
a xylophone to play macabre music on.
Each death is celebrated, rather
than mourned remorsefully.
Pitiless percussionists
play tunes to taunt
& haunt the ears.
The sharp, dry
attacks of
mallets

on
the dead must stop to have peace at
all.

I'm merging the variety of topics I've blogged about--which include literary and film analyses, anarchism, socialism, libertarian-leaning Marxism, narcissistic abuse, and psychoanalysis--into a coherent philosophy centred on dialectical materialism, dialectical monism, and object relations theory. Now, one dialectical opposition is that between the erotic and the ascetic, so accordingly, my writing encompasses the sexual as well as the philosophical; the former can be found in my publications on the Literotica website, as well as my self-published (erotic) horror writing on Amazon.
