POEM: Solitary
subterranean
take a thick slab wall &
bury it deep underground
a tomb smothered by tombs
rat squeak reality check
is the only sound one knows
except… when they come
when they come
there’s the warning squeal
of the rusty hinge of a metal door
faint means it’s another cell
a melange of guilt & relief
tingles about one’s skin & viscera
but when the squeal is
like a plow furrow
rutting up one’s spine
they’ve come for you

POEM: Sea of Energy
bobbing up and down
lulling one to reverie
waves lap sans a sound
ride the wave
float the tide
you’re energy’s slave
til the day you die
