Disbursing our lives in a state of malaise,
scars become currency
—for debts still unpaid

The Reunion
The closer we get to yesterday,
the farther away I feel
The longer you stay within my reach,
the more distant I become
Memory lane a withering dream
from a time the past has claimed
Trading those things I used to want
—for what tomorrow brings
(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: March, 2021)
Tu Dolebis
Don’t make things lighter
by clipping your wings
The jet stream is calling,
truth in the wind
Drop the excuses,
there’re reasons to blame
You can’t kill the darkness
—banning the flame
