Souls' Marks

 

The heat of passionate loves

     and courageous causes

Memorialized in poignant rainbows

     on cold, grey canvas

Tombstones

     marking man's everyday existence

In fleeting, flickering glimpses

     of heart and soul

Confinement

 Steep canyons of man-made madness

humanity's inescapable facade

jailed in brick and glass

forever entombed in

my prison of

civil society

eulogized in a

disappearing

sky
