The Forest & The Trees (+1)

Don’t let the poetry

weaken the poem

 

The structure a servant

—for what’s to be known

 

(The New Room: December, 2021)

 

 

Life Sentence

 

After the diagnosis,

each moment a dream

of years and then months

and days in between

 

After the surgery,

the dream became real

time again captured

—the sentence repealed
