Only a photograph
can truly stop time
framed in remembrance
—forever sublime

(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)

Neither worth the breath
of one muted bard…

Nor worth the time
of a chance denial

Change what you did,
and I’ll change how I feel
You can’t change forever
denying what’s real
The fly’s in the ointment,
the die has been cast
This moment endemic
—predestined to last

(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)

Nearly forgotten…
his name in the wind
to blow unattended
—direction at whim

(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)

Listen to the silence,
hear each frozen word
wrap your mind around itself
distant from the herd
Feel the bracing numbness,
lift what can’t be touched
free one starling in the night
—windblown through the musk

Memory of light,
vision of God

Centered return
—orbit of love

My Son…
a living poem
my deepest insight
—and greatest love

Art,
being tied to form
is inferior to life

In the actuality
of its being
—life is

Keep the fire burning,
worshipping the ash
Changing paper into smoke
—time and mood recast

(Dreamsleep: January, 2022)

Art,
the poison with which
the universe stings…
the artist dead
