Memory\'s Black Hole (+1)

That vacuum

inside you

once in it

you’re trapped

Insular

nothingness

too late

to look back

 

What’s empty

imprisons

no reference

in space

Where freedom

and choice

become duly

— erased

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)

 

 

The Holy Warrior

 

Through all

of his failings

and all

of his faults

His memory

redemptive

his conscience

set free

 

Through all

of the battles

and all

of the scars

His soul

still a virgin

his heart

— is pristine
