I refuse to remember
what I can never forget
Words lost to my memory,
lined deep with regret
The faster I write,
the deeper I hide
A reckoning hovers
—forgiveness denied
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
Last Break
Surfing the crest of
a midsummer night’s dream,
the waves became my friend
Rising and falling
in sets of remembrance
—last break to never end
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
