or maybe not because,
how would I know?
Dreams about Her Straight White AlphaMale trauma

Sarah’s Origin
My eyes stare straight,
fixated on something in the distance,
humming a song that would send chills,
if you ever got the chance to listen.

Tozzath
Pellucid pachyderms wade across
the purpling River Manjees

the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,

whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

of elder v younger,
Goliath v David,
crusades v communion
critical, yet part of chronic, events
speak extended family disengagement truth

and what I...

Ghosts of the Sun Dance-Part 2
8. Transformation
Yielding to those who have mastered the art
Of grasping one's place in existence's grand scheme
Life’s constant challenges never depart

Both romantic
