New Poem: HERE UNTIL ELSEWHERE

 here until elsewhere

 here until taken there

 make something work

 while you have the chance

 get something done

 better than wishing and wanting

 visit the old places

 be happy with the good memories 

 go somewhere new

 keep your faculties alive


 don’t believe everything’s behind you

 and there’s nothing left to do

 but dissipate in ritual silent regret 

 while you still can

 make the best of

 the here you have

 before elsewhere whisks you away

New Poem: AUTUMNAL

 older slower quieter

 no need to overreact 

 re-examine what happened 

 choice B preferable to choice taken

 >

 listen to the old rock band

 remake their past songs

 feel the need to alter lyrics 

 filtered through distance of age

 >

 sing along with me

 autumnal

 autumnal

 au tum tum tum nal
