“Free weight verses”
said the Poet …
“that’s what I’m about
“Working out heavy
every word
lifting pain and doubt
“Supersets
with more then less
exhaustion waits to claim
“The final rep
the lasting burn
— forever to inflame”
(The New Room: May, 2024)
The Bog
Step into
reason
The quicksand
of mind
The harder
you struggle
The deeper
the slime
The deeper
the slime
The harder
you fight
The sun
further distant
Consumed
— by the night
(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
