Last Chance (+1)

Hearing

my thoughts

I considered

again

Last chance

to refashion

What time

whittles thin

 

Word after

word

They pass by

in refrain

Assuaging my

doubts

Repeating

— my name

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)

 

 

Orphan Of Wind

 

Without our dreams

we sit naked and alone

Imprisoned by doldrums

adrift from our home

 

In fits of depression

we unstep the mast

Awaiting the storm

— of futures long past

 

(The New Room: August, 2024)
