To Wander

Left To Wander

 

Confusion’s underbelly

frustration’s embryo

Orphaned seeds of black and white

spread where nothing grows

Choices wander celibate

new pregnancy unfound

Up or down left to right

— dubiety impounds

 

(The New Room: February, 2024)

 

Incognito

 

Thinking the worst

of people

life has cast a pall

 

To cover my

intentions

— and camouflage the fall

 

(Dreamsdleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Warring Words

 

Poets

are the bravest  

writers …

you know who you are

 

Scattered

among

the Johnny Come Latelys

battered up and scarred

 

Each word

proffered

born of pain

raised in discontent

 

Dying once

to live again

unwilling

— to relent

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

Winning

 

First and foremost

success is an

entrepreneurial venture

— not a management exercise

 

(To Dartmouth Students: January, 2012)
