Poem: Threads Wrapping Us Intertwined

I cannot tell you
of all the strings
I watch dancing
sewn and unraveling
a string for friends
a string for family
a string for scorn
a string forgetting
a string for each
gossamer threads

Poem: Shackles

The shackles of sanity
Wrap around his mind
With the scent of haldol
And risperdol coursing
Through neurons quieting
The fires that burn within
