Are we the most enlightened species…
based on what we’ve done
A planet raped, all hope betrayed,
our passions zero sum
If we’re so smart then why oh why
is getting on so hard
Mistakes rekindled, memory flamed
—our spirits burned and charred
(Villanova University: August, 2021)
Motherlode
Crack open the vein
and let me back in
The ore of your vision
to mine from within
All treasured remembrance
lay fallow unclaimed
Awaiting my entrance
—forever proclaimed
(Dreamsleep: August, 2021)
