Devil Fire (+1)

Choices

a reminder …

each one comes with a cost

Freedom won

or gallows hung

to gain what could be lost

Decisions

cross the tundra …

reforming time itself

Transporting ice

through devil fire

—one glacier left to melt

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)

Unholy Waters

Once again

Religion

Is tearing us apart

Judaic tears

Islamic fear

Shared values in the dark

To kill

For an idea

Judgmental and profane

Begins the end

The baby drowned

—in bathwaters of pain

(The New Room: November, 2023)
