Together Alone

I may not

like it

Most

au contraire

But writing

it true

Your right

to share

 

Our language

different

Our thoughts

opposed

Yet both

defined

By what

we know

 

Each word

denotes

What pain

would hide

Unto

ourselves

The meaning

thrives

 

With couplets

foreign

And quatrains

skewed

Our Muses

strangers

Respect

— on view

 

**

  

Inception

 

Tomorrow freshly baited

— the future is reborn

 

**

 

The Beury Building

 

Art deco

majestic

she waits

in the dust

Broad and Erie’s

‘Grande Olde Dame’

her memory

in trust

Of ancient

glories

from the past

stripped down to the bone

Set to rise

with fate reprised

where boyhood visions

— grow
