Before the sun sets in the evening Before the morning dew, I sit to wonder Why we have umbrellas and still get beat By rain that our brooms can not sweep. Why some have eyes that can not see With minds that refuse to think far Far enough to light the stars in the sky, […]

On sacred scrolls of secrecy, Sworn to self to hold silence dear, This alien language of peace and quiet Devours and stings my very own ear What is this silence you utter? Why do I hear your voice in every nothingness? Why dead responses to every question posed? Finding home in sabbatical calms. You engraved […]

My forefathers before my grandfather Had believed that the earth was flat. But the believe did not progress farther Than where my grandfather had sat. “Time will tell” my mother will always say, But all I’ve heard is a tick-tock.
