War Ruins

war zone 
death’s heartbeat 
regardless of spring 

people cry each other 
into bomb shelters 
sun crashes on bloodied walls 
some screams live in the throat 
some never survive to live 

reading the news
I feel the fear 
between broadcasts 
no deadlines 
for destruction 
where leaders buy time 
with destruction 
bloodied peace offering 
the dead become the dehumanization of war.

An Hourglass Flipped






Time is a word, time is many a moon
They say time is the greatest healer
This fourth dimension that moves life
Irreversible sequence
That writes into our soul
Moving through our hearts
It takes and makes
Past, present
Future
To 
Take 
Charge of
To create
A now that comes
Calibrating life
A fleeting unstillness
Touching a kind of open
Living, breathing the act of being
The before, the after, and maybe
The instant and the constant that is time.
