Uncertain the journey,
Unsure which way to turn
Jump, dig, swim, burn,
Failure needs no witness,
The audience gathers anyway.

Once I thought I made a joke.
The audience blinked.
I tried to explain it.
The audience stiffened up.
That's my joke on my joke!

Musician

A public coward
who fears to talk
but wraps words
with a forest
of beautiful noise
to deceive audience
that he/she is terrific

to take the stage
past my talents merit
to an audience
of silence
and stares
icicles
to harpoon my heart
for daring.

foliage of broken wives
