Sub-Zero (+2)

You know it’s the end

when shadows abandon

Memory fades

as light is recalled

No longer master,

 time is imploding

Wishes undreamed

—then nothing at all

(The New Room: April, 2021)

Dark Chocolate

Eloquence of desperation,

 majesty in the end

Elegance of sweet sorrow

—dying to contend

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)

Eternity's Ace

Can you have a mind

and not have a soul

Connection temporal,

divorced from the whole

Can consciousness live

for only itself

A hand with three aces

—His card left undealt

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: April, 2021)
