What the fuck happened?
Seismic shift in perception
Chasm revealed

On the Stage
Curtain separates
Players from keen audience
Fire exits are lit
~
No dress rehearsal
We act out our own futures
Influence endings
~
Endless monologue
Echoes through empty hallways
Off un-pictured walls
~
Dialogue of birds
Settles in heat of high noon
Marks out the day
~
Epilogue pays out
Finite line too quickly unspools
We empty-handed

On Endings (x)
“You’ll get over it”
One of most popular lies
And most wished for dream
.
CLP 23/04/2020
Too Quick by Half
Listening is not done well
With half an eye on the time
Impatience in the soul
Fear at the shoulder
A mind full of mess
~
So when?
Now?
Or later
When this moment’s
Past

On Endings (ix)
Click, clunk! Home alone
Empty of the stuff of life
Tears stain bared floorboards
.
CLP 23/06/2020
On Endings (viii)
As the curtain falls
Amidst cheering and clapping
Memories diffuse
