Leave me alone,

I’m deaf to your pleading

 

Leave me alone,

I can’t feel what you feel

 

Leave me alone,

my time not for owning

 

Leave me alone,

our history repealed

 

Leave me alone,

the bridges are burning

 

Leave me alone,

the entrance has closed

 

Leave me alone,

the pages are turning

 

Leave me alone

—another I’ve chose

We are ill-served to give those who do

nothing

and know nothing

—everything

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2021)

We speak of truth, our souls delight,

but actions prove us wrong

 

If words alone could make it so

—each day would end in song

The tyranny of modernity

—aspiration enslaved

The wolf demands

what the shepherd

can’t protect

 

A busy hand

helps the angry heart

forget

‘To Mari Sandoz’

All discovery

—but one grand paradox

 

(University Of Pennsylvania: May, 2020)

 

Hiding in their basement caves,

the ‘journalists’ deride

 

The light of facts and truth cast dim,

a downward fatal slide

 

Where once out in the open,

clear vision far and wide

 

Credibility buries deep

—their fear a den of lies

 

(The New Room: February, 2021)

The shape of my spirit,

the weight of my soul

 

To measure the longing

of wishes unsold

 

Tomorrow the color

of yesterday’s stain

 

The taste of each memory

—this moment retains

 

(University Of Pennsylvania: February, 2021)

Silence…

often the loudest voice of all
