America’s Greatest Promise

Posted on August 12, 2023August 12, 2023 by Erin B.
You are thrilled by
America's greatest promise
of absolute good.
Lured by movies,
chewed up like a fall guy,
only to be conned
in Hollywood plot.

Breathing or Dying

Posted on April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 by Erin B.
She was the sort
to fall for
people who ran away.
Love is
a variable so wild
it can feel like breathing
or dying.

Fall And Rise

Posted on August 18, 2022August 18, 2022 by Erin B.
Listen carefully,
the fall and rise struggling
to be heard.
This song was familiar,
full of loneliness
an old ballad imprisoned
in his ghost.

Blind Fall

Posted on April 3, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
A blind fall
had her frail moorings
open suddenly,
and a burst
of faint music evoked
incommunicable emotion,
like a wave trailing in her wake.

Early Autumn

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Early Autumn: dusk and evening - chill and damp,
paths rustling with withered leaves,
the blue sky hidden by boding rain.
I donned a cloak and took a stroll.
