One Time Only

Waiting

for the

audience

to come to him …

He refused

to go to them

 

Shunning

those ears

that hide

from the truth …

Like a rose

without its stem

 

Working

in concert

with Muses

above …

What’s sacred

to remain

 

Each word

and its

treasure

a gift given once …

Their measure

— to proclaim

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2025)
