To Etch the Edge of Darkness

Our words hold close,

unhinge, this dream–

a singular

translucent dawn.

Narrative fragments

float around a room,

flotsam and jetsam

without back story,

without connection

to a set array

defining truth, lies

into difference.

An organic flux

tendrils arabesques

along fractal lines

until we shatter.

Preponderance of the Small

from “Renditions of Change,” a work in progress

At nine I wrote a poem

to a girl in my class — a love poem.

Today fifty years later,

I still write poetry.

Like a small bird flits

between branches, poetry

and love intertwine through

my life giving shape and succor

to even the quietest moment.

After the Trigger’s Pulled

Blood spatter slurs

on wet tile:

rorschach blots

without interpretations
