I keep my schedule free
My contact list empty
And my wrists stained red
Just so when death comes to visit me
She makes sure I'm found dead

Just a random poem that came to me...

Contact

I watched you
smiling blue eyes
animated
in conversation.
Sad, in my position
I watched everyone
but you ,
looked at me.
Contact !
Eye to eye.
Excited I looked away.

For weeks I held the memory.

Washed & Scrubbed

Intellectual hygiene…
the Poet declines

That dull antiseptic,
that deadens your mind

Once washed and then scrubbed,
the truth a charade

Academic consensus
—the Muse in her grave

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)

Until Gone

Until Gone

Old memory written,
new words to a song

Forgotten, remembered
—sung once and then gone

(Dreamsleep: December, 2019)

Smiling.

Smiling in delight.

Smiling in sorrow.

What's the difference?

You can't tell.
