Splatter rain falls
from thunder sky
in whoosh of wind
as lightning flies
waking me from sleep
to walk this why
of new day’s dream
versus old way’s lies

And with this next poem, I’m caught up on the October poem-a-day Mary R. Weems, Wendy Shaffer, Celeste McCarty, Lady K, and I are engaged in (suggested by Mary).
It’s been a rough slog this month, the words and poems don’t want to come.
Philosophy 102
I find no answers
crunching through questions
to light this dark
Skin, size, shape, sex
merely starting point
not basic value
And I cannot understand
the indifference
money brings to the rich
But there are clues
the eyes
the look in, the see behind
And of course
there’s say
versus do
But basically
seems to be
mostly me versus you
