Dying in the coal mine ...
a Poet saw it first
His warning prescient
prenotion strong
To those who listen
to those who hear
The end beginning
— all swans in song

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Foundling Of Time

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

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)

Black Whole

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

Window On The World

Nothing
describes an era
better
— than its vision of the future

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)

Crimean Wind

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)

Duality

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

Spoken Confinement

Prisoner of the
cursed phrase
shackled by the terms
Sentenced with each damning
breath
— inmate of what’s heard

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
