My Dear Poet May 27
follow me not
follow me less
and follow me little
oh shadow, oh glue

afraid of sun
or dark
in shades of grey
or spark
you breathe between the two

free to go
free to flow
till swallowed
when day is done with you
My Dear Poet May 24
Strong men who sleep while men die
are like big beautiful mansions, settled on the quiet hills of a graveyard, vacant, while dead bodies lay outside.
My Dear Poet May 24
.
all sleep
some fall into it
few enter in

My Dear Poet May 24
I write
not because I want to be heard

I don’t know what else to say
My Dear Poet May 23
If only you
would reach for me

you the sky
I the tree

we are all reaching
for something

touching you
touching me.
My Dear Poet May 20
my words come with no music
so you can just read them
the way you hear them

just like the way they’re spoken
unbroken, by the melody of the moon

my words have many fingers
so you can hold them
as you seldom do

and truth lingers unspoken
till you hear me, feel me
a wordless tune
My Dear Poet May 17
The violence of the silent
Is the silence of the violent
