fringe selvedges

Back in the present
Back in my mind
I keep just on wandering
Which way –
I will find.

Nazareth, Israel- January 2017

Overcome,
By a presence
Overwhelmed,
By its fate
Overwrought,
By the essence
Of a timeless,
Fractured state.

Jerusalem, Israel – January 2017

Encased within the wall
Is a moment –
Frozen and blurred,

A terror so monstrous
It’s echo –
Silently, is heard.

Masada, Israel – January 2017

I refine my momentum
To incline my degree
And decline my distractions
To define –
What I see.

Tel Aviv, Israel – January 2017

In the shivering blackness
I see light,

I see the good
Within the bad,

The subtle veneer
Of untruths,

As I demand
A uniqueness of reason,

Within the blackness
Of reality.

East Grand Rapids, MI – December 2016

The point of misjudgment
The reflex of fate
Reveals –
Your tattered awareness
In the moments
Of hate.

Greenville, SC – November 2016

Sleeping through the present
While waiting out a life
Reveals more shameful moments
Of the growing –
Lonely strife.

San Francisco, CA – November 2016

Look through
Yourself
View –
What makes you
Itself,

And be true
To self
By thinking
Through –
Oneself.

Charlotte, NC – November 2016

I craze through my anger
I slip through my hate
I reek with defiance
To shake all –
I fake.

Manhattan – October 2016

I crash, on my inside
I break, from within
I flash, to my dark side
To shake –
This fake skin.

New York, NY – October 2016
