Profound

Refresh

Transgress

Regret

The cycle seems to find her.

I have none to show.

Mind racing, fingers numb.

Stilted breath, wandering eyes.

Never at ease

Trying to look up more.

Yield hope

Die by your pen

A life of love.

What’s the role of a poet in times like these?

She posed.

That song replays in my mind

Lost in the woods.
