That which is unspeakable
indeed is the perfect poem.

True Color

The line was intended for someone to say
You’re lucky enough to have gotten to write it

And maybe that’s all that there was
With nothing more to expect

I though I’d be crushed
with you being less

Mon Avis

Hey!  You missed a spot.

No, not on the floor,
in your life, I mean.

See?  You can see it from here.

Now Meander

Though I have more than I had
as a kid growing up,
I am poorer
now than ever.

It appears
the world
disappears
to leave
harsh seams.

I wonder:
How many lives ago?

My future builds
affixed to itself
sans blueprint
but the past collects
by design.

Despair to look back
to revel in excitement
one once had to look forward.

I sense
a mosaic of sound and color
forms at the edge.

Behind me or ahead
I’m uncertain,
purely as a matter
of principle.
