Self-Infliction

Explosion, implosion,

tomorrow is gone

 

A new self-destruct mode,

old enemies throng

 

We’re now on the poster,

PUBLIC ENEMY ONE

 

The canaries all dead

—with zero the sum

 

(The New Room: March, 2021)

Tashunka Witko—Beyond Self

A man clad in mystery,

history would learn

 

His face on the mountain,

immortality earned

 

A man from tomorrow,

reliving today

 

Intrepidly fated

—truth on display

Tracking Upwind

A hunter

not skinner 

with quarry

so vast

Whose path

through the forest

is first

—never last

DNA Deception

The real nature

in the term

human nature…

Anecdote

of learned behavior

—serving self

Green Eyed Monster

Have you climbed to the top

of your little mountain,

only to find others

looking down

 

From heights far above you

that unable to climb,

you turn a blind eye

to the ground

Sampson’s Locks

She never kissed you

till she hated you

 

Her feelings deadly

—her motives dark

Lost & Unclaimed

Standing in

baggage-claim,

watching belongings

go round again

waiting for something

that will never come,

an army of strangers

grab their bags and run

leaving me distant

adrift and alone,

as the carousel stops

—my location unknown

War Party

Dancing out from the shadows,

our spirits release

 

The night from the day,

fresh paint on our cheeks

 

New fires in the darkness,

where drums beat once more

 

As voices call inward

—their whispering roar

 

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 2021)

The Running Stream

Prose gets more from poetry,

than poetry from prose

 

Verse a wellspring where phrases  drink

—whose waters flow and flow

 

(Villanova University: March, 2021)

Disarming The Past

With cannons of emotion,

heartache was sunk

 

The future retargeted

—joy on the rise
