Three Poems

 

by Stephen Rock

 

 

 

 

braced

 

sun beams
trigger primal senses
shifting seasons
embrace advancing years
memories
wrap tight

 

 

 

meditation

 

I listen for silence
those moments
when the void grips my mind
in unfocused bliss
drowning the need to hear

 

 

 

down goes the hammer

 

it
struggles
as if a pillow over the face

a scream
cloistered
as if permanence was enough to buy silence

venture art

may be good
might be bad
defiantly positioned
by virtue of demand

it

dies
when value
trumps intent
