Before Surgery

Before Surgery - a reading (on YouTube)

I spent the dying day reading poetry.

Were this my final afternoon,

That is how I would end it,

Listening to the stories of others,

Wondering what stories I might have told.

Through My Eyes

Through My Eyes - a reading (on YouTube)

The fog has lifted.

My mind has cleared,

Enough to write.

Is this the true dream?

A time to forge steel

From surrounding lead?

Or just another fit of reality,

Where silver words grey,

As ink dries to page.

The mist returns…
