Uneasy Lies The Head... (+3)

Eternally poetic,

terminally bound

 

Musing uncourted

—death for a crown

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

 

 

Dogma Incarnate

 

Religion in practice…

arms length from God

Close enough to see,

never to touch

 

Single lens focus,

vision for sale

Dogma as deity

—conscription at birth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)  

 

Hidden Embers

 

To hide yourself in public,

and turn your back on fame

 

 Choosing thence to be alone

—the fire without the flame

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

 

 

 

Welsh Leftovers

 

I swallowed hard the feelings scorned,

to finish off my plate

 

But filled I was in sated form

a glutton postulate

 

I bit off more than I could chew,

with meat still on the bone

 

My stomach full of fiery barbs

—leftovers unatoned
