Between The Lines (+2)

Is reason the straightest road

to percipience

Or is truth intuition

—memory’s black hole

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2021)

 

 

Excalibur

 

“Draw me not without reason

nor sheath me without honor”

 

There’s blood in the inkwell

—death on the page

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2021)

 

 

Dream-Weavers

 

There are people

who

 I love to hate

that live inside my heart

 

They thread me

 in

then knot me up

new patterns in the dark

 

To make my world

a

thicker braid

than those who fawn and swoon

 

And stitch the flame

 of

tangled fire

—unwoven in my loom

 

(Ronald McDonald House: August, 2021)
