Aunt, her twenty-something nephew, his grandpa: It’s after dinner as her nephew tells her, “Mom’s making dinner but I’ll have a taste,” A couple bowls later, my nephew and Dad viewing news flashes coming at them like strobe lights: Carter funeral, Trudeau resigns, VP Harris certifies her opponent’s win.

There are flashes of feedback when I try and listen; Not from you, you play with precision; It’s your echo; The silence of what once was, the times filled with just because; It’s static that just won’t go away, it’s your echo; Feeling your hands digging fresh marks along my spine turning the pit of my stomach, it’s your echo drawing blood; So deep I...

The Sun’s fire rises, raising temperatures’s smile; A tug of war dance; Palm tree afternoon, humidity’s peak level; Thermometer breaks; Healed by a sunset, taking you back to the ground; Rain colors your back; Stretched to the limit trying to break the fever: In the end?

My Command to Poetry Soup: Over Forty Thousand The Group: Keep your records of my poems Between ‘Motiveless’ and ‘With-Whims’; In your cherishing software lodge, Destroyers surface you just dodge… Let them – yes – in secret files stay, The Heavens and Earth to pass away.

When life flashes in front of my eyes, I see meadows full of golden wheat, and rosy pink flowers. When life flashes in front of my eyes, I see myself reading, undisturbed, for hours. When life flashes in front of my eyes, I see a grandfather clock, it's golden centre hitting the polished wood. When life flashes in...

As my life flashes before my eyes, slowly going into darkness before I die; everyone around me is praying and crying. My sweetheart takes my hand in his; back, he and I walked alone in that Autumn Day, to the sound of bird's melodious tone.
