Tap Room Blues (Blues Poem #16) +2

Drowning in whisky,

drunkard of time

Toasting the losers

—dying unrhymed

 

(McGarvey’s Saloon-Annapolis: June, 2022)

 

 

A Blessing Ordained

 

Today is the gift

that tomorrow hides

Alive in the moment

that scripture describes

 

To live deep inside it

a blessing ordained

To capture this instant

—forever proclaimed

 

(Radnor Pennsylvania: June, 2022)

 

Nowhere To Hide

 

There are truths

that follow deep into the grave…

The ones you disagreed with

—and the ones you ignored

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)
