frowny
It’s a dark and cold night. Looking back and up, the moon
was a thin and useless crescent, barely visible.

I’m coping with tough decisions

obscura april
As we all know, April is “National Poetry Month.”
Last year’s Poetry month, was like a month-long superbowl.

“Dear Anais

Never to leave me.
Shorn of love and feeling for days
Burnt screams of emptiness
Had resonated in my heart’s crevices.
Without a name.
You brought me relief and rescued me
from bearing the burden of historical anchorage.
Swept me off my feet, resonating
Ceremonial

New year has come and gone
It's time to get back to the old chores and the grind
A new dawn
Merriment ceased
For the common man who needs work
And pleased
To take
The entire year
Break
New year has come and gone
For the common man who needs work
Break
