A Foretelling (+3)

Is being open to fate,

a choice

 

Accepting tomorrow,

in lieu of today

 

A foretelling that still

can be acted upon

 

A remembrance

—the choosing at bay

Duas Electiones

 

You have two choices

in war…

 

Turn into a psychopath,

or suffer PTSD

 

Becoming the former,

may insure your survival

 

Suffering the latter

—and your world self destructs

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

 

 

 

Therefore I Am

 

If all ancient philosophy

is a footnote to Plato

 

Then all modern thought

—is a tribute to Descartes

The Baby's Laugh

 

She brought flowers to the garden,

water to the pond

Fresh stripes to line the zebra’s back,

and melody to song

 

A background to the rising sun,

brush strokes to the paint

New breath to hold the baby’s laugh

—and love to cure the hate
