Buoyant

In the torrents of your shattered trust
strong, steady waves appear

Revealing a faith buoyant,
unsinkable
unafraid

Revealing why I stayed

Unobstructed

Two strings,

one to open,

the other
closes

Slats hung divide me

from my window

At times

tugging one string to open,

closes blinds instead

Both strings raise in unison

our unobstructed view

Acoustics

Powerless rage
like a tent formed for acoustics,
houses dissonant concerted outcry

As vain blindness contorts life
while audiences view
through a cracked microscope
