Arriving
like twilight
the Muse
spreads her veil
Where voices
once silent
crawl out
to assail
The enemy
distant
the battle cry
near
As darkness
emboldens
what daylight
— enfears
(The New Room: January, 2026)
Moments On Fire
There is nothing so acrid
— as the smell of time
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)
