My Embrace (+1)

Rearranging discordant thoughts

memories fall in place

Like keys upon a Steinway

awaiting my embrace

 

Sharp notes lead, the flats behind

as I replay the past

Chords when struck connecting all

—in harmonies recast

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)

 

 

 

Timor Negavit

 

The death of tomorrow

rebirthed in stone

Its sculptor blinded

by fear unknown

 

The future vacant

the past denied

Where carved in darkness

—an image cries
