Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


More Meaning

                  Awoken by thoughts
            

          or a voice shouting on the street below
  

      or 
             

 nothing

     3 a.m. or later


              window open    comfortably cool

this June rain makes more of an impression


   in isolation
 

                              silence challenges


both history and the future
   

our daily lives and routines

 only a reminder
 

                  humans need humans

         Craving physical contact


we all need   friendship    security


compassion  and  hope

 We need more meaning on


        how we really spend our lives

The indisputable truth:


        All of us have sinned

Now we realize everyone needs


             Community

                   crisis or chaos


                 we are denied

                               guilt will find a place to rest

                           how do you sleep at night?
