This dream of my youth
Needing to be loved widely
This thing: “Popular“

The Freshman Suicide
A freshman committed
Suicide
Died last night,
I hear the wail
Of robbed potential,
The silent home
A room, empty,
Where homework
Should be studied,
Driving lessons
Rehashed,
Proms planned,
Eventually weddings, childbirth
Joyful transition
Parent
To grandparent,
Planning OUR funerals,
Not of a child.
Funerals for children
Brutal
Life is fragile.
On Writing
I entertained other paths
Other work
But this remains strong
I guess I cannot
Escape
Thus I should
Surrender
Into,
Then through,
My fear
Only I shall remain
A Mediation On The Eclipse
The sun blocks the moon
Or is Sauron searching hard
For his ring again?
Ease of Waking
I find it far easier
Waking to poetry
Than to news

Interdependence
Independence fails
There’s so much more, please look to
Interdependence
Cakes and Heads
French aristocrats
Their talk of “let them eat cake”
Then losing their heads
This is just a bit of an experiment to see how Instagram’s embed feature works. Looks like it’s too good, actually. Oh well.
Pablo Neruda
Neruda’s poems
Make my heart sing
His words echo
Through my soul
An evening, training
This evening was spent
With dearest friends that I love
Training: my passion
