You say you’re in search of America …
go to the food court at the mall
If you can still eat after looking around
—you ignore the Ravens call
(The Court At King Of Prussia: April, 2023)
Vita Nova
Poets see verse in every moment
beauty with every look
Pain for every step misplaced
scars that words prebook
Poets see light within the darkness
music in the dread
Hope when wishes cross the line
—life to those once dead
(Dreamsleep: April, 2023)
