Death is what other fears
Death is what we always hear
Death is we wish not to be here
Death is impossible to seer

But.. Sometimes..

Death is the answer to our fear
Death is the end of our pain
Death can no longer feel
Death is what they want to feel

And..

Death is a wish to anyone here.
Put this up in a place where its easy to see
the cryptic admonishment

Feel how depressingly when slowly
you climb
its well to remember
Things Take Time
Sunlight comes through the window.
The wooden bowl casts a shadow,
beautiful, simple.

This morning, again, you are in no hurry.
Your life has slowed down and there is time
to see.
In the last week or two, I have been seeing differently. Seeing more. In the snippet of the world I am living in, and in myself. Not everything about this time of quarantine has been negative.

Like Vincent my art's invisible
now but maybe future generations
will find fire in the night sky
and read my blood on the page
and know what life was like in
my time spinning on this marble.
America’s greatness…
we don’t have to agree

In freedom of dissention,
a strong harmony

Each voice draws a bowstring
whose arrow flies high

Carrying a message
—that liberty buys

(Philadelphia Pennsylvania: April, 2020)
