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

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

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
Distracted
Mesmerizing daydreams, old
Hero bounds to rescue
Aspect of escape
Faith affirms Christ’s
Soon return

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 ~
