Frozen Dreams


Frozen Dreams Poverty with a view Wilderness in the stew Icebergs set aflow Desolation row Every day a choice Searching for that voice The one to set me free And melt — this frozen dream ***** This Day Forward Giving up on tomorrow Rechristening today The blessings before me As presence they lay Regret is for losers Of which I’ve been one But from this day forward Today zero – sum ***** Door #3 We don’t write to uncover what’s right or what’s wrong We write to discover — ourselves ***** Bottom Line Writer’s write as dilettante’s talk Writer’s write and poseurs they squawk Writer’s write with dandies in tow Writer’s write — so others may know (Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
