Without

What are liberals without conservatives truth without spin vision without sight peace without war strength without weakness …three without four What are predators without prey the moon without earth storms without rain trees without roots jailers without prisons …hurt without pain What are chains without links ice without cold death without birth children without laughter cruelty without kindness …pens without ink What are seasons without Winter discovery without fame time without moments letters without cursive voices without ears …praise without blame What are ravens without wings vows without promise kindness without meanness masters without slaves today without tomorrow …joy without sorrow In Reference We Wander In Deference We Pray (The New Room: July, 2022)
