Busted Flat …
Poetic busking
the white lines advancing
A voice on the asphalt
the rubber — the road
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
The Heaviest Silence
Oh, to be cursed
with the burden of truth
Without the propensity
—to speak it out loud
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
The Last Song
Who among us
will write at the end
Who among us
the last to contend
Who among us
will capture goodbye
Who among us
won’t wither then die
Who among us
will stare it all down
Who among us
our destiny found
Who among us
will proffer the word
Who among us
demand to be heard
Who among us
will write the last song
Who among us
—will bridge the beyond
