Growing simpler with
each passing year
The leaves turn
...
The greatest Poem I ever wrote…
the one I just laid down
The one to last a thousand years
...
Where would we be without language,
still naked around the fire
Trading bones with a grunt or moan,
...
I live in places
you've never seen
And sleep in nightmares
...
Where do dreams go
once you've dreamed them
Where do feelings go
...
Keeping emotion inside
the words go mute
Casting decision aside
...
My DNA lettered
My bloodstream in verse
My feelings in couplets
My last goes to first
...
Giving in to the writing
all else went to hell
The bills stayed unpaid
...
Can men fight without symbols
where victory calls beyond love and hate
Can men die without symbols
...
