Its special indifference
and weathering smile,
reminds every passer
—its strength and its guile
It stands in the desert
alone and unbowed,
to flower in protest
—its nature avowed
(Tuweep Arizona: January, 2018)
Latebat Dolor
Cleft palate ill-fated
splitting inside us,
a hidden betrayal
—memory’s scar
(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)
Tail Of The Dragon
Love regrets,
promises return,
comets in mourning
—meteors burn
(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)
