the loose end of poetry

Powder Gate Tower

Vying reflections
Turn back to see
The moving inflections
Of the human –
In me.

Prague, Czech Republic – October, 2022

Coyoacan

I want to meet the maker
Who made the we in me
The one who sees the vision
Of a soul with the heart –
To be free.

Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, MX – September, 2022

Catawba Island

Shaking off
My insulate inner
I see the me,
From the side
Of a sinner,
Rushing to be
Like Jenny, the winner.

Put-In-Bay, Ohio – August, 2022

Bacchus

Shadowing yourself
Through a motion
Of mine –

Restricts your belief
Through its notion –
Of time.

Lac Leamy, Gatineau, Quebec – August, 2022

Blue Ridge

I dream of future moments
Where past becomes the now
Where the present, is the instant
That the when –
Becomes the how.

Saylorsburg, PA – July, 2022

M62’s

Having a vision
Of a harrowing, domain
Blinks, without reason
In its carryover –
Disdain.

Rye Beach, NY – June, 2022

Four Points

Dripping air –
And ripping fear

One strains to hear
The silent gear
That interferes
With your will –

To persevere.

Atlanta, GA – May, 2022

De Minimus

Politics of pleasure
Politeness, surreal
The art of the busyness
The pure slickness –
To deal.

Hart Senate Building, Washington, DC – May, 2022

Stoneacre

Out the horizon
To far to see –
Is a reflection of vision
Of the where
In me.

The Breakers – Newport, RI – May, 2022

metaVerse

Tracking through my moment
Tracing,
To its place

I seek –
A sign
Of rapture,

To embrace
The fear
I face.

Claughton Island, FL – May, 2022
