Most miserable
when she’s happy
Most shameful
when she’s proud
Most prescient
when unconscious
Most distant
in a crowd
Most forthright
when not speaking
Most giving
when denied
Most secret
when she’s telling all
Most dead
—but still alive
(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
Victim Of Self
Often, the worst punishment
you can suffer
—is not getting caught
(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
Irradiance
Why do you need a ladder
when you’re holding the sun,
the light deep within you
—transcendence begun
(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
