The shape of my spirit,
the weight of my soul
To measure the longing
of wishes unsold
Tomorrow the color
of yesterday’s stain
The taste of each memory
—this moment retains
(University Of Pennsylvania: February, 2021)
Pit Vipers
Hiding in their basement caves,
the ‘journalists’ deride
The light of facts and truth cast dim,
a downward fatal slide
Where once out in the open,
clear vision far and wide
Credibility buries deep
—their fear a den of lies
(The New Room: February, 2021)
Yes & No
All discovery
—but one grand paradox
(University Of Pennsylvania: May, 2020)
Lakota Wisdom
The wolf demands
what the shepherd
can’t protect
A busy hand
helps the angry heart
forget
(Pine Ridge South Dakota: July, 2019)
