A Baby Born (+4)

(short version)

 

Science wants to father

—what nature mothers best

 

 

(long version)

 

Atoms in the void,

voices in the wind

 

Long to be connected,

where do we begin

 

Science wants to father,

what nature mothers best

 

A baby born beyond their reach

—the Muse to then contest

 

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

 

 

Inherent Devotion

 

The jet fuel of perception

 is fear

 

The reasoning behind logic

is doubt

 

The heartbeat of affection

is love

 

Their connection inherent

—marriage devout

Devil Muse

 

The tyranny of inspiration

—a whip cracking within

Future-Past

 

Writing not for current ears,

writing for a thousand years

 

Writing not for time undone,

writing for the zero-sum

 

Writing not for love or hate,

writing not to legislate

 

Writing neither first nor last,

writing for the future-past

Delilah's Cry

 

How many Poems must I write,

to set my spirit free

 

How many sunsets must I watch,

to win my souls reprieve

 

How many women must I love,

to make Delilah cry

 

How many visions must I chase

—to catch the last goodbye
