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)
