From Enter The After-Garde


Habits travel out from the heart

deep and stiff as canyon walls

Further forcing

another Golem

into being.

Furious sleep takes reign

over narcoleptic beast.

Still,

Sometimes even a twig

is enough to hide behind

And so

In turn,

secrets and ennui

creep back

hidden in harmony’s

quick refrain.

Waterfalls


Read those poems again

having forgotten

names

, seeing

new binding

on shelf.

Wished the force went away from those words

so there could be room

for these thoughts

but

, they couldn’t

compete

as this

notepad

sits atop another’s work

holding in place

a new way

to failing

waterfalls.
