Fault Line

Deeper than love,

deeper than hate

the abyss that surrounds

inclement to wait

 

Fortune redundant,

heads in the clouds

escape not an option

—lost faces surround

 

(Ronald McDonald House: September, 2021)

 

 

The Last Mirage

 

Drowning

in the tides of thirst,

the dam opened wide

—for better or worse

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2021)
