September 2023 Collage Poem: Hallways of Life
Sharp eyes gleam from yeasty bread
Suspenseful stars trick savage horses
Sephardic interlopers run thru the hallways of life;
tears are driving their day
creating my own judgement day again
All the world is weeping for the broken dreams
A distant ghost wandering the wilds
closing down behind us
Thinking grim thoughts on dark grim nights
Folding the piece of paper the wrong way round
walking across the jungle
until you reach the North Pole.
That DNA that helix plays tricks with the
mystery of family history… ‘tis all illusion.
A curious child follows
looking at the eyes of strangers
after red tie over stable door

Mind bonding ritual
Shared secret circle
Poetry madness written
Insanity strenuously denied.
