Once
words took root
in darkness
Now
light floods
My being,
But,
like
spent brass
Missing
the spark’s
darkness
of
inspiration
deep
within
My soul
turning out
phrases
dulled

The
Little
Boy
Squeals
Happily
In
His Daddy’s
Arms
As
He
Is escorted
Into
The court
Room
In chains
Playing
In
The park
Gleefully
With
His
Mom
He
Leans
Forward
In orange
And
Speaks
Into
The
Microphone
Answering,
Unreachable

Cheeks
Flex,
Lips
Parse,
Sitting
Silently
Blinking
Eyes
As
Hands
Wring
And
The Other
Sits
Silently,
Watching
The listless
Dead

A Walk

A
toast
to
distances
forgotten
connect
remembered
souls,
turning
back
indifference
toward
missed
conversations
in
far
off
places
of
the
mind,
discovering
time
and
space
with
the
other
