Once the night had fallen upon a sleepless slumber,

"Conceits"



Such conceits
as veils between 
our windowed worlds 
torn torrential incomplete

mayst thou watch and learn

Gazing through the window’s diaphanous gelid glass, 
I see a flushing fluorescent misty haze of frothy brass.

It floats aloft the frost of...

Frice the week along with night had fallen to sleepless slumber,
Trapped again 'tween times when thirds are three in number.

Recurrent sneezing fit courtesy freshly mowed grass

circa June 20th, 2022
prompted me to stutter 
self addressed rapid fire gesundheit

Of how inside their homes, 
the blood is red and drying.

Freedom
We are off the chain, 
But we let up the rein. 
Endurance flows through our veins, 
But we still live in pain and disdain. 

We have much, 
We gain less. 
We hold the torch, 
But...
