Half Life (+1)

Remembering to forget

I forgot to remember

 

What leaves in the morning

returns with the night

 

The past in abeyance

a temporary shelter

 

Embedded in memory

—the wrong and the right

 

(The New Room: June, 2023)

 

 

Once & Again

 

Little streams

make bigger rivers

 

Words unspoken

hide the truth

 

Where you start

is where you’ll finish

 

Fate embedded

—at the root

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)
