Words without Voice
How do I reconcile
thoughts as fantasy
memory and reality
passion with voice
the page as desire?
vision disjointed
no oracle
writer
thoughts recede
fade
empty page
Words without Voice is the opening poem from my collection, Glass Awash, recently published by Spartan Press. It can be purchased at Amazon. Contact me if you are interested in a signed copy.

The line between reality and fantasy sometimes gets blurred. We poets call it poetic license. Congratulations on your new book, Ken. It was great hearing you read today. The live link is a really great connection for all of us.
