The only sure thing

— is change

(The New Room: October, 2026)

The box

or its contents

depends

on the view

The fill

or the

vessel

their value to you

A pretty

enclosure

or bountiful

load

The secret

in knowing

the prince

— from the toad

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

People

without stories

are like dust

in the wind

The mark

of their passing

blowing lost

— in the din

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

The other side

of where you stand …

A doorway

marked with Yin

Revolving

with your entry

Where Yang

— awaits within

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

Hell Hath No …

A disenfranchised

woman

is not easy

to ignore

A wave

that builds

but never breaks

— till burying the shore

(Deamsleep: October, 2026)

The Treasure

An hour of time

a dollar of money

The exclusion is mutual

like salt is from honey

Those moments so clear

never bought – ever dear

The treasure of life

— golden goose in the covey

(The New Room: October, 2026)

Blood Legacy

We don’t choose

our fathers

as fate has

its plan

A kindness

to some

but to others

— be damned

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

If opinion was money

— we’d all be rich

(The New Room: October, 2026)

Riding

before they walked

War chants

the death of talk

Fury

for those who sought

Staked

— to the ground they fought

(Lame Deer Montana: October, 2026)

The City uncaged

once the innocent

are asleep

Where neon lamps

of judgment

line the alleys with pain

Shadows of regret

dance to the sorrow

of memory

Those not

in their beds

— becoming victims of the night

(Dreamsleep: October, 2026)

So sick

he’d have to get better to die

Each breath

grows more distant and thin

Longevity

a dream that’s now passed him by

The call

— of tomorrow lost deep in the wind

(The New Room: October, 2026)
