Prisoner Of Language

Will time live eternal
or just its retelling
A prisoner of language
whose paradox mined

Dimension in contrast
ill-fated contrition
To look but not touch
—and hope they align

(Rosemont College: December, 2023)



Through A Vacuum

Biologically tethered
time is the demon
Your flesh and your blood
by nature defined

Each tic of the clock
your heart beats in cadence
Dogmatic in method
caught up in the brine

What if your consciousness
took a leap forward
Abandoning reference
erasing the lines

Polarity exits
its jail through a vacuum
Releasing reversing
—becoming sublime

(Rosemont College: December, 2023)

Starting Over

Dig up the foundation
requestion each premise
Wade through the bathwater
the baby must go

A leap when it’s quantum
still subject and object
Fly out of the portal
—rejecting what’s known

(Rosemont College: December, 2023)
