Freezer Burn

did summer ever come
with promises to return
seems winters' never gone
this cold is set to burn

light gains
darkness fades

muted whispers
screaming inside vacuums
only one listens

barren frozen cold
inhospitable truths told
lands bitter souls

Trying to Summon Courage

I am
theatre bred
I am
poet born
I will not tread lightly
I will blow my horn
I will make practice
of practice
Till every act is
that of mastery
I will steal history
for so long
that it will linger upon
me. For centuries

The Long Drought

She's a meadow

of wilted flowers

once in bloom

but broke too soon

how quickly

the parched ground

devours

its own
