Left To Weep (+1)

The truth runs thin

   along the borderline

 

Where voices lie weary

   and valleys grow deep

 

The truth runs distant

   along the borderline

 

Where choices are frozen

   —new dreams left to weep

 

(Las Vegas Nevada: February, 2019)

 

 

Coursed In Stone

 

You have money in the bank,

 but you’ll never be rich

 

With the power to buy and sell

 though yourself disowned

 

Those things today and then tomorrow,

 their weight crushes in upon you

 

A legacy doomed as rock by rock

 —your future coursed in stone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2019)
