Bring me your ghosts
Bring me your shadows
Bring me what frightens and haunts
And tell me a tale
Here beside the fire
That we might see specters in the flames

1/13/2024 – what I want to hear
Have ever I seen, there upon the bright horizon line
More than what I expected, more than my desiréd sign?

I can but be what I’ve in me to be
And yet such promise can feel unfulfilled
If I cannot listen when I am stilled
To that which could make me a better me
1/10/2024 – whispers along Time
I was bewitched beneath the starry sky
By all the ancient stories reaching me
From places so unfathomably high
Their whispers along Time are all we see

Of the world we burned

Listen, hear what the Fates will do
1/3/2024 – remains
I wash my hands
I rinse my eyes
I trim my hair
I sleep away the day
Yet that which I touched
That which I saw
That which polluted all my being

1/2/2024 – New Year
As at the dawn we see the rising sun
O’er new horizons we could not foresee
But to that brightest orb we must now run
We cannot merely wait for what will be
12/30/2023 – wretched wages
Words fail me
When I stand in awe
Of the universe
Of the sun
Of the earth
Words fail me
When I stand in awe
Of our folly
Of our sins
Of the wretched wages of mankind’s actions
