A Suture

Poetic transfusion

  prose bleeding through

 

Words but a suture

  —stitching the truth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)

 

 

Two Thoughts For 10/18/2018

 

       Fortune Untold

 

Beyond the critics reach

  beyond the assassin’s grasp

 

A rainbow exists—with fortune untold

  refracting present, future, and past

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)

 

 

      Time Dissolved

 

Wringing the joy out of every moment,

   catching those drops that fall

 

Time becomes septic draining into itself

   —the past and future dissolved

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2104)

 

 

Breath Surrendered

 

Words apprehend

  a willing prisoner

    —verse to fly between the bars

 

The latest inmate

  with breath surrendered

    —an incarcerated bard
