Standing in
baggage-claim,
watching belongings
go round again
waiting for something
that will never come,
an army of strangers
grab their bags and run
leaving me distant
adrift and alone,
as the carousel stops
—my location unknown
(Shangri-La Airport: January, 2004)
Sampson\'s Locks
She never kissed you
till she hated you
Her feelings deadly
—her motives dark
(Aldwyn: March, 2021)
Green Eyed Monster
Have you climbed to the top
of your little mountain,
only to find others
looking down
From heights far above you
that unable to climb,
you turn a blind eye
to the ground
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
DNA Deception
The real nature
in the term
human nature…
Anecdote
of learned behavior
—serving self
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
Tracking Upwind
A hunter
not skinner
with quarry
so vast
Whose path
through the forest
is first
—never last
(Garrett Hill Pennsylvania: January, 2021)
