privileged romantics
cultivate melancholy
amplify ennui
actor as lover
heartfelt passion, maybe craft
a question always
thought drowned in sadness
reason bled of all purpose
move-Change-SEARCH-RISK-ROAR
moon in milky shroud
sun rising in hellish red
cry of burning trees
twinkling little star
unchanging overseer
wondering what we are
inauguration
a new chapter unfolding
hope springs eternal
soul-baring poems
read by writers of poems
and others, perhaps
Michael Brandt, Arena
