“I don’t splain myself,”
Bill Hickok said
before his Colts went off
A dead man lying
at his feet
—his legend time embossed
(Dreamsleep: January, 2022)
No Answer Required
It was never a question
but just a reminder
a sacrificed memory
of what used to be
(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)
Temporal Perspective
Time in degrees,
degrees of time
the horse or the cart,
position sublime
Hours sans minutes,
seconds besieged
mirage of attachment
—horizon to free
(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
