One More Day
One More Day
Always amazing
how well this life
goes right on without us
New images tread
where shadows have fled
old memories in the dust
Nothing left behind
but words to remind
we chased the Tiger sure
Out of the jungle
into the light
—hoping for one day more
(The New Room: February, 2024)
A Finer Point
Simplify
and clear
Simplify
and clear
Not many
years left
— simplify and clear
(The County Line: February, 2024)
Trapline
Could — Would — Should
poetry’s triumvirate oxymoron
(The New Room: February, 2024)
Goodbye
Walking the wasteland
tracking the miles
rumpled old notebook
pain has compiled
Closer to yesterday
lost to today
Voices of promises
I shouldn’t have made
Trouble ahead
troubles behind
Providence follows
in only my mind
My pen almost empty
eyes nearly shut
One word to write only
— midnight has struck
(Villanova University: February, 2024)
Free Given
It matters least
that when I die
What strangers say
what ladies cry
It matters more
the ink run out
My words free given
— whose passion shouts
(Villanova University: February, 2024)
