What makes you think
you can mortgage a heartache
What makes you think
your payment’s unique
What makes you think
your indebtedness special
What makes you think
—you can leverage the pain
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
Disarming The Past
With cannons of emotion,
heartache was sunk
The future retargeted
—joy on the rise
(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
The Running Stream
Prose gets more from poetry,
than poetry from prose
Verse a wellspring where phrases drink
—whose waters flow and flow
(Villanova University: March, 2021)
War Party
Dancing out from the shadows,
our spirits release
The night from the day,
fresh paint on our cheeks
New fires in the darkness,
where drums beat once more
As voices call inward
—their whispering roar
(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1991)
