Sound Bites: May, 2024 (+1)

Out from under

the burden of proof

Changing the argument

— freeing the truth

 

…..

 

Saying it shorter

staying intact

Words more empowered

— tightening the slack

 

…..

 

Writing … the cake

Reading … the icing

Licking the spoon

 — crumbs of delight

 

…..

 

Leaders made

not born

when so inclined

 

To rise

or fall

— with choice defined

 

…..

 

Freedom and consciousness

answers implied

Unknown to the masses

whose questions have died

 

Freedom and consciousness

 trysting aware

Betrothing each other

— to wed in what’s shared

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)

 

 

Cheshire Musing

 

Prose and its narrative

the lazy alternative

Words most abundant

meaning defined

 

Declarative function

it reads codependent

As poets but smile

— with language refined

 

(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May, 2024)
