Morte Corona (+1)

Running from

the voice of my conscience …

who’s deceiving who

Guilt ridden fear

embedded too dear

one and one still two

Trying to change

what’s inherent

my thoughts both twist and bend

With words falling deaf

death’s coronet

—judgment reprehends

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2023)

 

 

Dust Jacket Quotes ...

from my new novel, Approaching Storm

 

 

Left (front) Dust Jacket Quote:

 

The bats in the tower

 rats in the barn

Night befits cowards 

who run from the storm”

 

 

Right (rear) Dust Jacket Quote:

 

“When the woods are full of the enemy

—start your fire at their backs”
