Returning
to a sleep
reality abandons
You become
what you dream
—so forever sleep well
(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)
The Last Rhyme
Smiling the same smile
Making the same mistakes
Walking the same path
Singing the same songs
Dreaming the same dreams
Loving the same girl
Breathing the same air
Righting the same wrongs
Signing the last truce
Reaching the last fork
Holding the last hand
Casting the last line
Waltzing the last waltz
Humming the last tune
Paying the last bill
—rhyming the last rhyme
