Blind Designs

Born today, gone tomorrow


Like a butterfly with no stomach


Born n the morning, dead by night


Oh—let me whisper


Oh—let me cry


What man has not learned?


What man will not learn!


In his pomposity, his rhetoric


With his abstract concepts


With his intellect


With his creativeness


He has become enslaved


By—them…


By them all, he will fall.


Ah! Yes—abstract concepts


Bombast and rhetoric


His intellect


His cleverness


This he leaves behind


To his decedents!...

(he has not learned he

has detached himself


dangerously from reality).

A note by Rosa Peñaloza-Siluk, “The very first book Dennis wrote, “The Other Door: Poetic Exhortations”, appears now on Ebay and Abe, and Alibis books, and elsewhere as a keepsake. It was 25-years ago he wrote the critical praised book, in classical poetry. Since then it has become a sought-after title for the author, with few circulating copies left. There was only 750-copies made, and 400 of them signed, a short classic in his genre. It is vintage Siluk, poetry—about people who love and get hurt, and travel, just about the whole gamut of life. He has been thinking of republishing the book with a new introduction by his wife [me], because besides his books on drugs and alcohol, “A Path to Sobriety…,”has proven that it will outlast him and myself, with all respect intended for my husband.
