In dark corners of the city,
old shadows are found
In dark corners of the city,
premonitions abound
In dark corners of the city,
the doors swing one way
In dark corners of the city,
your soul becomes prey
In dark corners of the city,
where hope goes to die
In dark corners of the city
—your dreams say goodbye
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Wishfully Remembering
Nostalgia trumps memory
when looking back
The bad fading gray
offloading the black
Sparse moments of joy
though far and between
Now color our feelings
—as red turns to green
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
Inside Out
The past is a forgotten country,
tomorrow a foreign land
traveling inward I leave today
—free of times command
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
