Inflection Point

 

Musicians

want to be poets

And poets

musicians

Jim Morrison

in Paris

Leonard Cohen

 Montreal

 

The grass

shining greener

In shadows

elusive

The muses to

whisper

As temptress

— they call

 

*****

 

Birth Mother

 

Comfort

 the enemy

of truth

 

Prescience

the nemesis

of time

 

Insight

 the jailer

of denial

 

Freedom

the birth mother

— of dreams

 

*****

 

The Crossroad

 

An ounce

of freedom

Or a ton

of gold

The choice

is yours

Since times

of old

 

To sell

your soul

Or set

it free

A Frostian

crossroad

By choice

— decreed

 

*****

 

Love On View

 

Walking

through the park

Troubles

disembark

Watching

couples swoon

Picnicking

at noon

 

Every tree

a refuge

Rowboats

dot the sand

Joy unbridled

love on view

Cupid

— in command

 

*****

 

The First Cut

 

Never complain

never explain

 

I don’t care if you like it

I only care that you read

 

Stay undefined

the future unrhymed

 

The first cut the deepest

— forever to bleed

 

(The New Room: May, 2026)
