his power of reason

the poison with which
the universe stings…

worshipping the ash
Changing paper into smoke

Hope is not a strategy,
wisdom not an end
Moment to moment we live the truth
—borrowing to lend
(Dreamsleep: January, 2022)

being tied to form

In the actuality
of its being
—life is

Experiencing
Me

Memory of light,
vision of God
Centered return
—orbit of love

Sylvan Escape
Listen to the silence,
hear each frozen word
wrap your mind around itself
distant from the herd
Feel the bracing numbness,
lift what can’t be touched
free one starling in the night
—windblown through the musk
(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)
