A Set With No Set



A symmetry within the jagged life lines

Even as the pulse beats in unconformity

A set with no set signs


Man with a parrot on shoulder leans uneven

while the bird balances set in uniformity 

together alone - they must believe in


Set of horses lying upon a lush green field

One white; one black - in an odd deformity

While life continues by - yet, death has a yield


Stooped man carrying life’s heavy load

walking a wrong way along mountain highway

seeking his set back to the levee’s lode


Man monitoring for ailed riders

To set upon an empty therapy trail’s way

Where harrows are filled with spiders 


Vexing men walking holding hands in contrast

One youthful dressed in a rainbow suit of play

The other, an old worn vet; a set in miscast


Silhouetted men running towards the opaque

Tall and imposing figures chasing a quickened day

While a poet tracks and waits to set view upon daybreak


Woman with empty eyes

Wondering around in set of pajamas tied in enmity;

Lost presence - she has no more replies  


 A broken wooden sign, with the word “Home”

Faded and missing the letter “e”,

Was once set to stop those who roam.
