Dressed in
This flesh,
Our bones
Know the
Meaning
Of patience.

#poetry

Never apologize
For setting fire.
It is a consequence
Of bleeding stars.

#poetry

There is
A swarm
Of bees
In my chest
That I call
Anger,
And if I open
My mouth
They’ll come
Out in droves
And blacken
The sky.

#poetry

Our lives
Like plum
Blossoms
Blooming and
Fluttering
Into oblivion.
I should have
Said no more
Often.

#poetry

We all find
A way to
Turn ache
Into art.
Just look
At what
Stars can do
When they’re
Given a heart.

#poetry

We leave
Some of our
Light inside
Everyone we touch.
Luminous beings
In the breach
Between dreams.

#poetry

You are
Not without
Hope:
You are
Strong
Enough to
Carry your
Heart.

#poetry

I’d break
The bones
Of tyrant time
Just to hear
A fraction
Of your laughter
Again.

I never felt
So lonely
As when
I learned
Your name

#poetry

I never confuse
A flurry of actions with
Productivity

my lifetime spent on
a painful pilgrimage to

From the light of freedom to a concrete tomb,
The fall was great and swift.
My soul cried out in a mighty boom,
How could it come to this?

Clamped down, trapped stuck,
Paralyzed in a tiny cage.
Had fate left me not a drop of luck?
Was there reason for this rage?

Told to lay down and die,
Something deep inside me stirred.
I can’t be caged I have to fly!
Not yet am I interred.

They can take my body, tie me down,
It matters not a bit.
My spirit still runs wild and free,
So in freedom here I sit.

It seems his artistic vision finally became reality.

Hand drawn image of a man interred in prison. He is kneeling in his cell between the bunk and desk cabinet, envisioning a scene above his head of a couple holding hands and giving thanks over food and a crowd seated together and a couple in the distance holding hands.
