More is more

Are you sure

More cold

Less warm

...

Less is less

Only in a circle

or under duress

when the mouth breaks

...

Less is more

Perhaps in hell

with Alzheimer’s

or a silent cancer

...

More is less

More words

Less reads

Love this

...

Some writers search the sky

for special lights

The Sun is all I see

when I type some of my

inherent misery

The Moon provides my

inherited torment

...

The Sun and the Moon

are all we need

The other stars

may have died

before we looked up

I prefer to look

at you my love
