Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Friends, I’m doing my best to keep up with comments. 😅 I’m still current on my own poems and first replies on others’ work, but this season has been a bit of a twister. Figured I’d drop a quick note so you don’t think I’ve vanished or gone flaky.
Read. Write. Rise. Realize. 🤘💀🖤

Read. Write. Rise. Realize. 🤘💀🖤
I fear the fence-like cages
Surrounding the place we'd dance,
A cemetery of cemented certainty
Where the hope for better lives
Hits the button of mass destruction.
Sunshine is smothered by the smoke
Leaving carbon marks on pristine curtains.
Left reaching through chain links
Are those of us awake enough to see
We are not animals at the zoo.
