the loose end of poetry

Dutch Neck

Passing through a vision
Strolling by a now
Asking only questions
Of the moment –
In the how.

Ironbound, NJ – August, 2026

Darby Road

Lifted under pressure
Patient into time
Simple tender lessons
Of a notion –
That something’s mine.

Keswick, VA – September, 2026

Sabon Polygon

Being now
And leaning through
A blink of time
That reflects –
Your you.

A Coruña, Spain – July, 2026

Wicker Park

The pulse of remembering
The arc of thought
The fiction of determining
What wrongs, I’ve wrought.

Soldier Field, Chicago – November, 2025

Breaking Eighth

The lash, of freedom
Our fate, so near
The wisdom, of experience
Revealed –
By fear.

Hassan II

Looking for you
Looking at me
Seeing our horizon
Breaking, us free.

Casablanca- November, 2025

Grandfather

Deep down denying
Your fast moving state
Designs to entwine us –
In new directions, of fate.

Blowing Rock, NC – October, 2025

I worry and worry and worry
A lot
I think that I’m really just
Something –
I’m not.

San Juan, PR – May, 2025

Strikelight

When you see
Your beginning
Come from, its end

Your never
Stop winning
Your focused, transcend.

Kingpin

Steady movements
Shaky rolls
Stylish swaggers
Burns –
Fashions coals.
