Has your life
become an anthem
to those things
that you’ve fled
Did denial
and avoidance
leave you once
in good stead
Can you swear
to the heavens
you had
no other choice
Cowardice
and trepidation
the breath
—in your voice
(The New Room: November, 2023)
10X
Viewed from a distance
—we all fade to insignificance
