What would fame bring
what would it change
One iota of truth
the stoppage of rain
Living exposed
the arrows to sling
You know what you know
whether knave or a king
Accolades fall
slaps on the back
Stumble or stall
and your patron’s attack
Life in the shadows
freedom proclaimed
Famously absent
—yourself to ordain
(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)
Through The Maelstrom
The deeper you dig
the simpler it gets
Each question supplanted
—the truth in your debt
(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)

I love Salinger, an exceptional tribute!
Thanks Bella, that's what my editors call me. 🙂
I agree with them!
