All of the secrets
are already known
The sages in moth *****
old king on the throne

The answers requestioned
new fruit on the vine
What’s hidden uncovered
—as seasons rewind

The rose speaks silently,
in words of love
Communication only the heart knows,
through the rose

My shadow was crying out to me
beyond all darkness and light
Saying that life is a trap in reverse
caught between wrong and right

Dichotomy claims what polarity feigns
academics locking the gate
Where shadows crawl under what locks in our fear
—abandoning us to fate
