Dig Deeper

Dig Deeper

 

When faced with an issue

cash won’t solve

— you haven’t got enough

 

********

 

One Thing

 

Forever

to question

Rebuking

the answers

In search of

that one thing

Defining

— the ask

 

********

 

Every Recall

 

Memories …

the only thing

we get to keep

Everything else

with time

retreats

Feelings

relived

in every recall

To cherish

or learn from

— the large and the small

 

********

 

A Dark Capitulation

 

One year

follows the next

Until death

comes to claim you

 

Though most

uninvited

Its presence

commands

 

A dark

capitulation

You follow

it downward

 

Where heat

from the shadows

its fire

— commands

 

********

 

Enemies Waiting

 

No one

escapes

from violence

unscathed

But no one

of valor

looks off

from the fray

Enemies

waiting

upon

the hard earth

Where living

or dying

to each

— has its worth

 

***********

 

Split Screen

 

Everything

and nothing

together at once

 

The horizon

keeps moving

—  duality’s myth

 

*********

 

Caught On A Tightrope

 

Campaigning

in poetry

Governing

in prose

A tongue

that’s been forked

Deceit

in the throes

 

Saying

but one thing

Doing

another

Caught

on a tightrope

Skirting

— forever

 

*******

 

Opposites

 

Just not

being wrong

will not

make you right

 

Opposites

joined

imploding

— on sight
