Does worry only exist
in our memory
Or is foresight
required to fret
Will a bear live in fear
of the hunter
Or ignore what
might happen unmet
When alarm bells go off
in the moment
Rejecting the
future and past
Is time at its essence
but present
All reference
— a rationalist caste
(The New Room: January, 2024)
Dark Lullaby
Naivete
in life
brings terror
to dreams
The psyche
wide open
a victim
to scheme
The innocent
notion
belief
to defile
Asleep
in the
nursery
—where monsters run wild
(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)
