Refusing to ever
say hello
The coward says
—goodbye
(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)
Bemused
Rat-a-tat, Rat-a tat-tat,
the mice crawl through the walls
You hear them best when lights are low,
the cat still yet to call
Rat-a-tat, Rat-a-tat-tat,
straight up and overhead
The world they know—the world you know,
conjoined but never bred
Rat-a-tat, Rat-a-tat-tat,
your solitude a ruse
What lies inside beyond plain sight
—a kinship to bemuse
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
The World Rose
The world sneezed,
the demon danced
—the music stopped in time
The world coughed,
the demon choked
—millions now entwined
The world hid,
the demon searched
—new victims running low
The world rose,
the demon dead
—nowhere left to go
(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)
