Endure

 Endure

Today weighed heavy.
Grinding me down to a crawl,
But I shall crawl on...

The Shoal

The Shoal.

Black ink, swirls inside circles.
Words stripped bare
to the letters,
merged not to read, but to see,
shapes reshaped until pleasing…

Cut in perfect form, circle still binding,
Shoaled and stacked
With solemn focus,
Folden into yellow paper.
Red ink to form the link.

Formed in duplicate,
rite repeated.
New set destroyed
as some folks call for.
Documented, as others insist.

Now to forget,
the hardest part…
until such a time remembering
is prompted with delight.

Thoughts

Thoughts

The papers and books
Lay scattered across my desk,
Mirror of my thoughts...

Highway Hypnosis

Highway Hypnosis

The hum of the road, 
and gentle warmth of the sun
makes me need caffeine .

Interpreting

Interpreting 

From out of nowhere:
horn, brakes screeching, cold steel, dark...
I wake with a start!

Linking

Linking

With hope and focus

her symbol drawn in crimson, 

uniting the worlds.

Transparent

Transparent

They call for cease fire 
Not for peace, but the time
To bomb someone else.
