Virgin Queen (+1)

Deep in the forest

of a wanton tomorrow

two virgins sullied forth

One but a temptress

from loves inquisition

the other devil sourced

 

Together they exit

where fear is incepted

to course on different paths

 

One a diversion

distracting our vision

— the other Queen of Wrath

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)

 

 

The Lights Of The O.R.

 

Dodging a bullet 

the Pet Scan loomed large… 

results both good and bad
 

\"Nothing today 

to panic about \" 

 tomorrow left unclad 


The moment secure
 
the future unsure… 

prognosis under siege 


The lights of the O.R. 

calling his name 

— with hope the last reprieve
