The rivers of our persuasion
empty
into an ocean of solitude
Leading the swift current
over the rapid shoals
— to greater and greater depths
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Silverback Tears
Ten million people
killed by machete
The Congo a hemorrhage
of human despair
Ten million people
whose carcasses rotting
In jungles of torment
— and life’s disrepair
(The New Room: September, 2025)
