fringe selvedges

Stable grounding
Underneath

Shaking through
A process stealth

Betraying,
Delaying,
Softening,
Stoking

A wokeness –
Softly choking
Within its untruth, belief.

Clemson University, SC – January, 2020

Sounds, of the dark
Unfold and surround
They trickle, at the edge
Of your conscious,
Background.

Las Vegas, NV – January, 2020

Skating through my present
I try to shake my inner past
And wonder if my future
Will be a now –
That will not last.

Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, MI – December, 2019

Meeting the maker
While, making me meet
Is a retaking, of mission
And a charge –
For its feat.

Bangkok, Thailand – December 2019

The face –
Of your future
Is fickle, with fate

As it traces –
Your present
And your will, to relate.

Palm City, FL – November, 2019

Rolling waves of present
Rustle throughout my mind
Wondering if each new moment
Will be the potential
I seek, to find.

Ft. Collins, CO – October, 2019

Away, and so far
When goes, does the one
As I sit, and I think
And I scream, as I run

And it’s here, not so far
What I seek, to be done
So it’s a choice, through my mind
To find the way, to have won.

Madison Square Garden, Mark Knopfler – Sept, 2019

Echoes, of darkness
Swirl –
Through the mind

Poking pinpricks, of starkness
Undetermined –
What to find.

Chattahoochee River, Columbus, GA – September, 2019

Racing into slowness
Breaking from decline
I snap back into focus
As the mind –
Returns to mine.

Bartlett Arboretum, Stamford, CT – August, 2019

Whispers, into screams
Becomes, my only means
As the moment –
Evolves,
Into my dream.

Bras-Coupe, Maniwaki, QC – August, 2019
