Severed from a
knotted past
the future’s line
went slack
Denying what
the morrow feared
refusing to
— look back

Severed from a
knotted past
the future’s line
went slack
Denying what
the morrow feared
refusing to
— look back
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
If there wasn’t anyone
to see the change
change would still happen
change would become
Transcendence imploding
inside of itself
birthing the moment
birth zero-sum
(The New Room: June, 2024)
Nothing
describes an era
better
— than its vision of the future
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
Wary of right causes
needing less courage
than the wrong ones
Fate shunning reason
when true glory
comes to light
Humans get killed
but humanity
sorely lingers
The measure of intention
what is written
— and retained
(To Lord Alfred: June, 2024)
Body — Mind
indivisible
except in thought
Love — Hate
undeniable
emotions caught
Good — Bad
in the quotient
as reason divides
Right — Wrong
in the nebula
of choices implied
(The New Room: June, 2024)
Prisoner of the
cursed phrase
shackled by the terms
Sentenced with each damning
breath
— inmate of what’s heard
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
The interchange
of reluctance
waiting in the queue
Permission caught
in temporal probate
affirmation skewed
One last chance
unbegotten freedom
living in between
The will to choose
nothing left to lose
— as red lights turn to green
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
When your mind
has roots in poverty
all riches bend and wilt
The fleeting gold
the moment holds
— no more than fading gilt
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
The backside
of tomorrow
The frontside
of today
Every look
retelling
Of what the past
betrays
Caught within
the doldrums
All time fades
in the mist
Until that day
that ends itself
And nothing more
— exists
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
Death ever faithful
in spite of the glee
Holding our place
in wanton reprieve
We ever the cuckold
of life’s dark affairs
As quiet it waits
— a loyal au pair
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
