In The Pudding (+3)

The best of Poets don’t explain,

their truth the readers judge

 

 

The best of Poets to remain,

what time will hate

—or love

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

 

 

 

Till Dawn

 

Is a promise left unspoken,

the breath that holds the key

 

Unlocking what the twilight brings

—till dawn can set us free

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

Buffalo Jump

 

Cars line the highways

with their broken life inhabitants,

coffined tributes to a last wish that got away,

android druids in mock procession

—racing toward the end

 

(University Of Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

 

 

Forever Lost

 

I tried and tried to tell you,

but I was lost in mixed emotion

 

I tried to not offend your spirit,

as I wandered looking for a home

 

I tried to make you understand,

the hard edges would soon come off

 

But in the morning your fear returned

—our love forever lost
