Positive freedom,
nose in the wind
Negative freedom,
refusing within
Shaking and straining,
the spirits set free
To pour or leave empty,
at times disagree
Positive, Negative,
the labels of truth
Distilled combination
—like gin and vermouth
(Villanova University: February, 2021)
Memories Of Ouray
Nothing about life is impossible,
viewed while looking up
Nothing about death is reversible,
viewed while looking down
All in between is contestable,
winds blow North and South
Nothing promised, nothing cursed
—the choice to laugh or frown
(Ouray Colorado: October, 1995)
DEFCON 1
Weapons grade narcissism,
nuclear results
Fallout clear, scorching dear
—free speech its main assault
(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)
Lost & Alone
A man without a shadow,
has nothing left to lose
Reflecting back, all memory gone
—abandoned by his Muse
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
To Saint Jude
The square root of an Epiphany
—is hope
(Villanova Sacristy: March, 2021)

—is hope'..
Amen!
Way to claim back that word as well! We must fight for language, like we fight for our lands.
thank you for sharing!
Yes, "A Fight For Language," very good.
