...Or Not To Be (+4)

Full time poet,

part time novelist

Full time storyteller,

part time bard

The difference greater

than words will imply

Hemispheric divergence

—the why and the how

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

Wasted Breath

Bad prose masquerading as poetry,

darkness posing as light

Words stacked on top of words uttered in vain

—narcissists delight

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

Heaven's Gate

Science…

mankind’s great attempt

—to become Divine

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

What Goes Around...

Clapton's first three chords,

 his last three chords,

 my words have done the same

Verses once muddled,

distant and skewed,

now thunder down like rain

The syllables left

are short and pointed,

their edges razor sharp

To cut the remaining

clinging vines

—setting fire to the dark

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

Mjolnir

Hammering the dark silence,

Thor bludgeons the night

Releasing with thunder

—a storm gods delight

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)
