From the Muck

 

In memory of Lee Kuan Yew

From the muck, against

All odds, rose a splendid sheen, 

A southeastern star,

She set the bar for her kin

And close neighbors to exceed.

Horizontal Callie

 

I am vertical, 

my characters, 

horizontal.

Poets are 

horizontal and

God, vertical.

Callie lacks free will,

she’s of my mind.

But in my poem, 

her actions have 

consequences. 

My mind found 

free will,

my mind found 

Callie.

Actions with consequences,

there is nothing without God.

Gary Edward Geraci
