Higher Bred

Language builds a place to stand,

inside our own cognition

 

Each word confirms what thought instills,

in psychic recognition

 

Are you the true informant,

about what’s inside your head

 

1st person self awareness frees

—a nature higher bred

Strangers Cry Out

Often, I have to challenge the words,

after they’re written

 

Often, I struggle to understand,

what the Muse is trying to say

 

Often, I have to cede the ground,

that buttresses my thinking

 

Often, the voices calling out

—are strangers to my ear
