The Reach (+3)

How close can you get to the horizon,

how far can infinity feel

 

How near can you get to the distance,

that pulls, but then never reveals

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

To Look Back

 

Before success,

the work had more meaning

 

Before success,

with nothing to fear

 

Before success,

all floor and no ceiling

 

Before success

—the mirror was clear

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

 

In The End...

 

Blue Collar—White Collar,

choking the same

 

Their difference endemic,

as time casts its blame

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

 

 

Which Rose

 

What’s in a title,

what’s in a name

 

What does it matter,

praise—or to blame
