Lost and Not Found

Will we circle back

To where it all began

In hopes of having a

Stable world

But it seems

As the world breaks

At the seams

All have doubled

On what has been lost

With not attempt

To find

What truth

May be left

Behind

Back and Gone

From a dirty palm

Comes word of

Confusion

And bemusement

From the drivers side

Of a SUV ride

I have to learn

Not to deny

That within my mind

Lies words of hope and optimism

Even amidst my own

Skepticism

So enjoy the day

Be learn to be

OK

The Polite Expert

All things held constant

As they are

Words are needed to soothe

The disruption

From a certain combustion

So the fuel can be expelled

With a polite expert

Weaving the words

Through a difficult

Narrative

To see what the future

Can hold

Unarmed

Am I prepared

For this life

The moments

That I fail

To see the hope

Amidst the sadness

When the focus

Is anything but what I want

To focus on

I need help in these times

When my unarmed eyes

Can’t see a way through

Morning Blood

At first sight

There was hope

But then blood was drawn

With one poke

Of the eye

With the social feed

Roaring with fire

And stoked wherever you go

There was morning blood

Drawn

Even if you didn’t
