The world is not driven by greed
it’s driven by envy …
Commandment 10 is carved in stone
positioned at the end
Where old injunctions miss their mark
a covetous reminder
Desirous of another’s place
—the devil painted green
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
To Lady Day
Bars of misfortune
singing dark memories
Nightmares once stillborn
—beguiling again
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
