Name dropping success…
a first name basis with failure
Hope into the wind,
heartache on the approaching storm

Following Storm
The underside of dawn,
a promise ill remembered
Blue Hour turned to black
—as night devours day
(C&D Canal: June, 2020)
Heat Blinds
Are the truly enlightened
able to endorse their success
Driven closer to the flame
—where heat blinds to reveal
(H.U.P. May, 2020)
The Veil
The future calls our name just once,
hello awaits goodbye
The past a veil to what’s been learned
—the truth wrapped in a lie
(H.U.P. May, 2020)
Each Memory
The past held victim
to the future
Each memory a shackle
in tomorrow’s chain
(H.U.P. May, 2020)
Each Choice
The moments of these days…
the wheat from the chaff
Each choice confirmation
—the first from the last
(H.U.P. May, 2020)
To Count On
The greatest times
are the one’s that surprise us
The greatest people
are the one’s who don’t
(H.U.P. May, 2020)
Resonant Voices
What are we afraid of
if not ourselves
What are those shadows
that hover within
What do we know
beyond the joy and the pain
Where resonant voices
—start over again
(H.U.P. May, 2020)
No Escape
You can’t run away from the ashes
— as their memory burns from within
(June, 2020: University Of Pennsylvania Hospital)
Writers
Taking the reader
where alone he can’t go
Onramp to tomorrow
—new roads to be shown
(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)
