  • Shadows Through The Veil

    They’re peeking from behind the great grey pines. Their trunks seem as though they’re tall enough to reach to High Heaven. I see them in my dreams. When I close my eyes, they peer at me with their large spotlights.

  • Constellation Kaleidoscope

    The world is a kaleidoscope
    and I'm peering through
    with one squinted eye.
    I hold it tightly
    with just one hand

  • Somewhere Else

    She's always somewhere else.

    not tucked up in here.
    She's always somewhere else.

    I don't care what excuse you have,
    nothing can excuse what you did.
    Keep lying to yourself.
    I may be young, but I have sense.
  • This Night Of Restless Sleep

    I gotta be somewhere tomorrow,
    but my head is feeling a bit baked.
    This room is way too cold tonight.
    Fields of soil spread bare, raked

    in this night of restless sleep.

    I gotta go back to work tomorrow,
