Bluffed Oaks

Sensing, our surroundings
In this age of –
The Fear

Reminds us, resoundingly
To re-engage –
What’s never clear.

Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard – October, 2020

Crossed Fade

Movements, in motion
In a memory, of me
Makes, a soft judgement
In the meanings, I see.

Croton-on-Hudson, NY – September, 2020

Matter Dark Behavior

Crackle and shine
From a blackness, sublime
Leaves a vision
In a moment
Of mine.

Cazenovia, NY – August, 2020

eleven exit

I walk down lanes
Of other memories
Experiencing loss, and love
Of a consciousness stream –
Like being inside,
Another’s dream.

Round Lake, NY – June, 2020

Isolate

See your mystery
Feel your fame
Remember your inside,
Revolutionary, game.

Feel your honesty
And be unashamed
Reveal your outside,
Executional, flame.

Rye, NY – April, 2020 (Quarantine)

Solaise

I measure, my moments
In the spaces, of me
As I think on
My present
As a now – that I flee.

Val D’Isere, France – February, 2020

Mirrored

I fear my own anger
I’m fraught with its pain
Frozen
Fanatic
Fissures
Is my mental –
Terrain.

Whiteface Mtn, Lake Placid, NY – February, 2020

Ramsgate

I write, how I think
How I think, how I write
And instantly forget –
The reasons,
I wasn’t right.

Sonoma, CA – February, 2020

Polanco lV

Slipping, through
The notion,
Of true
Reveals the shadow
In a reflection
Of you.

Mexico City, MX – February, 2020

Sirrine

Stable grounding
Underneath

Shaking through
A process stealth

Betraying,
Delaying,
Softening,
Stoking

A wokeness –
Softly choking
Within its untruth, belief.
