STARTING OVER
Like Sisyphus each morn I start
My task again with a heavy heart.
Each Genesis day I began anew
This endless chore I'm assigned to do.
Tying loose ends as I travel,
That before another sun, unravel.
My course is set, this is my fate.
How slowly the gods retaliate.
RESURRECTION
We browse in dusty places,
Pilfering through each pile,
Of secondhand and one-time-new,
Out-of-date and out-of-style.
The faithful optimists of this age,
The last of the true believers.
We recycle dreams, recover hope,
Defy brand-new deceivers.
THE ONE-EYED MAN
He still stands in the agora
Where the sun warms the salty shore,
Marble columns line the way
To the open assembly door.
Barefoot against the sophistry
Of Reason's cruel waste.
The justice of injustice,
Hemlock's bitter taste.
DEJA VU
In the mirror of memory
The future is cast
When we relive scenarios
Performed in the past.
JOURNEY
The amber edge of memory
Sharpens my recollection,
Calling back a used-to-be
In silent retrospection.
It baffles
