Verbal Malice (+2)

The mouthpiece of ignorance

is gossip

 

The wellspring of gossip

—is lies

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

My Spoken Lord

 

Devoted to my writing,

a prayer with every word

 

Faithful to each line I write,

my verse—my spoken Lord

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

A Blind Eye

 

If you don’t write

everything down

 

Then at least take

everything in

 

Seeds once planted,

ripen and grow

 

A blind eye

—the killer within
