‘Quote / Unquote’

Living within
quotation marks
my questions there
protected
My ownership
connected
and feelings
— most defined

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026) 

The Keys

Shackles
on the future
Handcuffs
on the past
Keys
inside the moment
Freedom
— first and last

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026) 

To Die

The enemy
of all that’s good
Perfection
lays the trap
Footprints
circling in the snow
To die
— inside their tracks

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
