Christened in the night

by rain

at the crossroads

Kissing each memory

that burns

 —breathing his words again

 

(Hazlehurst Mississippi: October, 1975)

 

 

Insomnia

 

Musing with Laura,

 sleep is denied

Dreams wait unkindled

—darkness on fire

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2022)

 

 

 

Answering The Call

 

Each line,

each phrase,

each spoken word,

a step toward…

the One

 

(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022)
