Triage
They say
save those who weep
and I reply yes
and no…
do save those who weep for others,
but let the selfweeps go.

No One Is An Island
I land.
I sea.
I air.
I in-between.

New Year Day One
Same earth, same sun,
same day night dance renamed
with new number lugging
old need for rent
old aches
pains
joy
new wrapped in old game
so Happy Same Thing With New Name
carrying mold debts
old wepts
regrets
steps
and dead pets
We are what we are,
what we carry on
