A SINGLE PASSAGE

...Nothing compares to the stillness of the soul.
Remain dignified
even within the spiral of desolation.
Remain upright
before the arrogance of opulence.

Life,
an hourglass filled with illusions...

From default yes to designed no

...O to live life in relentless outreach
And still stay put, stagnant, nowhere to reach,
To struggle hard, getting not so in hand,
To feign busy as if a butterfly,
Or a productive bee nevertheless,

Hospice

...He blinks in and out in a wingchair,
overhears what visitors say
when patients
can be talked about
as if not there.

People speak well of the dying,
even of dying strangers,
to him their word...

Things that move or touch me alone, none other would bother.
Clouds with color and form, are not just a repository of water,
but demand m...

Hidden In Plain Sight Virtually Unable 2 See

...Surely it is virtually impossible

To hide and disguise

Unless that is of course 

Those they who are

Reserve In Thee

...Love is not always reciprocated

Seeming some hearts terminally
constipated – 

unable to relieve themselves
and others, 

to make lighter many burdens,

the long suffering of less fortunat...

Karen's Brother

...Sky blue eyes looking
past the bounty of pork rinds
past boundless skylines
stare blankly for way too long
then to the menu
cradled in his plastic hands.

Plant-based food options

A Terrace Full of Flowers For Our Anniversary

...Oh! No. I won’t wait until you’re seriously terminally sick
Or to expire in order to send you bouquets of ritzy flowers
Today is indeed the time, the hour to stand above the big brick
To show my l...

Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings

...A revolving door of visiting friends
 Old and new, at the hospital, day by day.
     Stalked by death's brooding shadow;
      Cancer-stricken and terminally ill,

Struggles of a Teen

..."You have it easy," 
is what they always say.
"Are you starving and not breathing,"
they ask.
"You have no right to complain,"
they mock.
Then why does my life feel like I've been living in vai...
