Poems by Albert Sidney
Breath and Ashes
when all is lost and time is torn
ashes are born
a milkblood opportunity
a gray primal soup
oozing forward
and the clock begins anew
and the ticking and tocking rhythm
begins the march back to life
like some uncertain infantry
on a reincarnate push
back to war it can not escape
a pulse
that can not die
becoming breath
becoming ashes
breath and ashes.....Albert Sidney

since the age of 17. I am now a public
school educator.
Albert Sidney recommends:
Howl by Alan Ginsberg
Reason: I feel he wrote from pure energy and in the now.
I feel poetry is best when almost a
performance art and Ginsberg exemplified that.

Write from the heart and the gut.
