A Wolf Waits
A Wolf Waits
Early one morning
reason escaped
And prescience went with it
unlocking the gate
Lights in the asylum
flicker and fade
The inmates grow restless
a deepening shade
Evening brought darkness
no stars in the sky
But nobody wondered
no questioning why
The moon simply vanished
a wolf waits to howl
All order disorder
—with thought disavowed
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Spinning The Cylinder
When does intelligence
turn on its host
Killing the patron
leaving a ghost
Russian roulette
in a game zero sum
Perception reloading
—acuity’s gun
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Quantum Leap
Life beyond numbers
images reign
Killing all reference
lost in refrain
Gaming the theory
zeroing out
Counting symphonic
—Angels about
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
