Coven

Written on April 19, 2014 by tinkwelborn

The wagons, encircled, the gates have been drawn. Unless a devotee it might turn out wrong. All bits and pieces, at one time, a song. I used to be out there, but didn’t belong. Now, I’m back inside – […] Continue reading →

And The World Will Still Roll On

Written on March 28, 2014 by tinkwelborn

(For Danny Welborn) ~ Some say in dying, you get what you get; a suicide number on someone’s hit list. A social statistic; a news item flair; a cousin of cousins may hear it somewhere. First comes the daughter, too pretty, unfair; then falls a baby, it couldn’t breathe air. […] Continue reading →

Disappearance

Written on March 18, 2014 by tinkwelborn

~ Once was a family, A patriarch, head; Now, an anomaly; The patriarch dead. No bond can hold up, For long, I am told; But then, each a story, Uniquely condoled. Patriarch, matriarch, Of figurehead, old; Each category Obliquely extolled. Out from disorder An order […] Continue reading →

Written on February 25, 2014 by tinkwelborn

~ I am so blind, I’ve lost my night vision. Each day Unto next I forget I’m used to familiar, The routine of head, Not close, But at most A close fit. And time, when it then comes, As time always will, It laughs when I ask it To stop and stand still. […] Continue reading →
