Ellis Island

***This piece was written around the Word, "brusque,"
in a Word-of-the-Day game on Twitter, (where I am known as ChayaChaya)
The subject matter here bespeaks no "game," and shall be revised.*****
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Nightmare - brusque hands upon my body, stripping dignity,
Great-grandma's thoughts live inside me.
I'm a Survivor of gene-locked fear

I live to message Peace to all,
yet shun my own Heritage oftimes,
claim my culture, deny myself my religion.
Beautiful Traditions...I know we must preserve.

My grandma's cousin,her Aunty Chickie ?,
 gassed in an oven, in another time, a foreign place.
My legacy, but SS voices brusque- so surreal.?

Brusque voice in my Ancestral ears;

"Where are your papers?!"
Echoes down chains of genes, 

Nightmares for a child of 8.

"She's too young," my Nina cries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ancestors tumble off ship onto Land
disarrayed clothes & feelings.
Man at the desk brusquely barks,"Name!"
Our Family's Name ForEver changed

Ellis Island welcomes you!
WearyEyed Frightened peasants, Hearts of Hope,
Home, an aching Dream.

Brusque voice pronounces Beginnings...

  BlueBlack rounds blaze the Circle w/Vari-Colored Light;

  TruthTalks with Moon, 

  conversation wildly silent, 

  taciturn tapestry of her Life. 
  
  I'm addicted to Artwiculate,

  Grateful for your Gift: 

  you helped to break my taciturn Writing Voice.

  For you, my Words are sweet,never brusque  

   

  My boy has Trisomy 21. 

  With the smarts of all your children, 

  with us, his crazy parents, 

  he shall answer brusquely worded stereotypes 

  with a smile, & he shall succeed. 

   

  Pride-we need our Traditions. 

  Tho one Day, we are all shades, brown, green?

  People,  All,  Past hurts by brusque words, brutal acts- 

  Be Agents of Change.

   

  Mirror shows me, age 8, 

  beaten by brusque screams.Her Dreams splattered: I become. ?

  Wish I could have un-entrapped you.  

  Still I know you love me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      The unicorns and dancing bears resented my lecture opposing mythomania. They staged a protest and blockaded my car. That's why i'm late, sir 4:35 AM Apr 11th via Twitter for BlackBerry® Retweeted by you and 6 others

      My fave contemporary author, Arthur Phillips, is surely a bit of a mythomania -c;   
  23. read his EGYPTOLOGIST to understand my words here.

  Pseudologia Fantastica sounds lovely! 
  However, w/a Word like mythomania in the mix, perhaps
  Psychadelica Fantastica might also suit?
• 
  
  
  
  
  @osmarjardim 
  Sr.osmarjardim, have you been crowned by an Island,
  or is it my propensity for mythomania 
  to jump to such a conclusion?
• 
  
  
  
  
  Since age *tiny,* I've been afraid of Spiders.
  I must have mentioned this to you 180 times by now,
  sans mythomania; 
  I shall count later

  Ezmeralda, HippySpider smiles at me & declares: 
  "You are my pet!" Her 16 legs (no mythomania; old eyeglasses),
  dangle in lamp's ambience.

  Billions of Thanks for sweetest RTs. 
  I believe mythomania is among my favorite Words. 
  I guess you know more about me, now. :)

  @navinsasikumar 
  Do I detect a bit of mythomania 
  in your "getting old waiting" tweet? :)
• 
  
  
  
  
  My Beloved @bluesonicboy- now a contender!
  He'll likely tweet Artwiculatey the Night entire.
  No Mythomania; we are both so obsessive!
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  @bluesonicboy heads home f/work,his foot glued to the pedal!
  He speeds fast as his Formula 1 Dreams; 
  fearfully, I speak sans mythomania.

  @asim7asim @Wifsie 
  I could say I've tried to be briefer 18 million times, 
  but I'd be indulging in more Mythomania.

  I love my wicked-sweet pal, Ezme,
  whose 8-freakySwirly-limbed Presence keeps me on my toes.
  Please don't call her a product of my Mythomania

  Live in Mythomania -Land for a teensy while. 
  Exaggerate to others who frequent that GoldenLand;
  those who love you will understand and...

  as Spring grew cool,my fingers cold,my brain numb.
  I have, on a tiny scale, conquered my main nemesis,me!

  Tiny darlings on the playground climb Skyward & slide!
  I wish to keep vigil upon their innocence;
  wish my angel will never have a nemesis

  If my sweet Beloved joins this game, 
  he shall become my nemesis!?
  No-never-I shall applaud his Writing & Re-Tweet him.
  Ah, Love...

  I hope to remind myself each Morning, mirror-view: 
  "You are your own worst nemesis."
  Perhaps I will become a woman after her own Heart

  Our sweet little British kitty,Gilesy, 
  hissed his nemesis off the garden. 
  We never knew the cat's name;
  we always called him "Nemi".

  Moments move in panoply of wild feelings; 
  she is, at once,
  a myriad of emotionally colorful,
  oftimes flagrantly suffering, people.

  No panoply in my head, no time to play. 
  Only ceremony in which I'm involved
  is getting a 6-yr-old to go to sleep.
