Love’s Goodbye

 

Those who ask

no questions

offer the greatest

comfort

 

Those who speak

inscriptive

tell the biggest

lies

 

Those who pledge

no fealty

to themselves

dishonor

 

Those who bear

no greetings

doomed to love’s

— goodbye

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

 

Misfortune Contrives

 

It’s in fashion

to wear

your heart

on your sleeve

 

A French poet

alarmed

that love may

deceive

 

Bleeding a wound

that

misfortune

contrives

 

Alone

in deception

your love

— circumcised  

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

 

Epiphany Of Time

 

Once

you wrap

all existence

into this moment

 

You will

understand the

difference between life

— and its living
