I.
sent home, undeniably
smooth faced & a smile
traveled ten miles
shocking, the electronic stint
reading, reading, reading
the library; it’s closed
bought instant pot; soups
pressuring, ladeled into two
bowls. Lemony cake
with more lemony frosting
because he asked me too;
nothing else to do
stuck, at home;
sticky wicket —
wicked season
II.
curbside return,
a farside cartoon;
grand opening
tables and chairs tied up
like victims; taped up
mouths — wall plates
my smile stuck
inharmoniously;
attack of the mask
Zorro keeps pulling
it up to my eyes;
masquerade mayhem
when the pandemic ends
might save the scraps
for savage weather
III.
no end in sight
illness gaining strength;
anxious to arm wrestle
hide behind barrier
except when i get really close
screening unfathomable
IV.
Twenty twenty five
a good year;
face to face
i let out a sigh of relief;
the mirror
puts me back in my place

'Tis quite evident,
no pulchritude remains
apart pellucid poetry 'pon
figments' elegantly refined
persuasions which are
quite simply volition
mid-flight delusions
seizing daily routines'
fragmented derangement,
traipsing 'tween vague
blathers' vacuous
mindlessness 'midst heady
illusionist's mused intentions
of an inaudible presence
taken compulsion o'er silence
above & further the farside
poetically conceptualized
amenable druthers and
superfluous divergency
of an obscure obsession

Hindermost thru the bluemoon,
The shadeless empty bluemoon,
(The beloved- hollow bluemoon,)
Rememerbing, a gliding fowl,
The clouds of wings of darkness,
White darkness, the worries,
Tasteless darkness--weeping,
On the farside the kingdom doom,
Overland of unknown,
We hold you in our minds eye,
Utter to me the with your last breathe,
Tender words will be relished, yet lost.
