Escape
for those in bondage
A vise
to break the chains
Its promise
burns the master
Whose riff
to light the flames
To dance
the steps of freedom
And leave
indentured rage
To heal
those lost and wanton
The Blues
— on center stage
(Kingston Mines Chicago: January, 2026)
Blues Poem # 21
Chemical Love
Take the blue pill
and set your watch
Tell her it’s coming
libido recaught
(but)
Where is the magic
the moment belied
The thrill of the chase
— and hearing her sigh
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)

Love this one Kurt indeed the blues heal even my soul that never was chained. Very nice
Thanks Man.
Always ma pleasure
Kurt, this carries fire. It feels lean, deliberate, and unapologetic…freedom not as theory, but as something earned in heat and sound. The Blues pulse through every line. Love it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
I'm glad it hit home.
