Where is the brother
Idolized in younger years
Imagined hero
Was no exception it seems
To illusion which betrays

Illusions Betray
4
New Year Repeats
New Year repeats
“Can’t happen here”
Reason retreats
More raging, fear
Fresh violence
There’s no pretense
Of peace, surcease

Awkward Burden, Self-Confidence
Confidence
Awkward to put weight on self
Human wisdom oft’ fails
Can’t see future clear
Experience
Limited

Seox poetry form: 6 lines unrhymed; syllable count ~ 3/7/6/5/4/3
Of Hero and King
Distracted
Mesmerizing daydreams, old
Hero bounds to rescue
Aspect of escape
Faith affirms Christ’s
Soon return

Sleep’s Theater
~*~
Past midnight, during
Sleep’s Sahara hours
Dreams rise up as
Brain teasers which
Usually make no sense
Nor offer connection
Recognizable ~
I might close my eyes
Head on pillow, and
Wish for a drowsing
Castle on misty cliff’s
Edge which would at
Least relate tangentially
To novel-in-progress of
My daylight life ~
Or perhaps a slumbering
Beach walk…white sand
Undulating palm trees
The face I love coming
Toward me…but the
Romantic possibility
Melts away, mere vaporous
Mirage…as, transitioning
Between sleep’s theater
And alert real world, my
Mouth fills with taste of
Pot-sticker dumplings ~
I don’t rest well, brain
Changing reels with
Rapid haphazardness
Fatigue is the norm ~
