Tendered In Blood (+2)

Disbursing our lives in a state of malaise,

scars become currency

—for debts still unpaid

The Reunion

The closer we get to yesterday,

the farther away I feel

The longer you stay within my reach,

the more distant I become

Memory lane a withering dream

from a time the past has claimed

Trading those things I used to want

—for what tomorrow brings

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: March, 2021)

Tu Dolebis

Don’t make things lighter

by clipping your wings

The jet stream is calling,

 truth in the wind

Drop the excuses,

there’re reasons to blame

You can’t kill the darkness

—banning the flame
