Present Unwrapped

Present Unwrapped Plan for tomorrow live for today the moment redeeming future caches Say what you mean do what you say the circle enclosing — truth on display (Dreamsleep: February, 2024) Palace Rules No worse enemy than an ex-friend No better friend — than an enemy turned (Dreamsleep: February, 2024) Empty Promises Caring not much for what I haven’t seen Deaf to those voices still trapped in between Caring not much for what I haven’t been Each promise stays empty — not kept from within (Dreamsleep: February, 2024) White Buffalo Can you … Know without thinking Win without beating See without judging Cry without pain Speak without stricture Come without staying Wish without hoping Share without claim Hear without language Curse without malice Hunt without preying Rule without reign Fly without plumage Dance without music Love without taking Die — without shame (Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
