A Mirror’s Glass in Darkness
Always give your heart to those you can Everyone can hear what you might think Every time you open your mouth, speak Brilliant bon mots, also tarnished tropes Spew like vomit when you’re distracted At other times, though you feel focused Creating is your being when ideas dance Water beads sizzling in a searing […]

Distance to Anywhere or
Would You Like Coffee With That? What does it matter, How I feel What I do Infinitesimal or less In the list of all Things, stuff, piffle Merely a passing moment A falling leaf An ant’s call to battle Depth of the ocean Distance to anywhere Near or far All different All the same Do […]
Trial and Tribulations of a Time Traveler
