Blood moon
does outshine
all expectation
in capturing its line
of transformation.

With Hope
With a glimmer
she dreams
and sincerely believes
growing up will cease
her life of hardship.

Born Cruel
Born cruel
the matador duels
with red flag fuels
barbs of death.

Hurrying
Wondering
if hurrying
while munching
is worrying
for good reason.

Slower Reaction
Wasted days
with endless time
the slower reaction
of youth describes
their distorted belief
of indestructible lives.

Twist Of Smoke
Ancient folk
unveil the dark
with a twist of smoke
their crooked path
straightens our purpose
from wisdom’s past.
