Darkness Reigns (+1)

Show me a man

without contradiction

I’ll show you

— no man at all

Darkness Reigns

 

Shunning the light

power hides

in the shadows

gathering allies

— proffering fear

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)

 

 

A Priori Blues

 

Living alone

in quantum space

vibrations

dually churn

 

Hiding behind

a simple rhyme

their essence

undiscerned

 

Turned into words

exposed at last

where time and

memory join

 

Feigning the praise

for something they’re not

disparaged

— and purloined
