Feeding hope to the flame
fodder to the mystery
Light unto the darkness
—life begins again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)
Beyond All Excuse
Poetry…
Attacking the mood
Driving its impression inward
Beyond all excuse
Wounding the intellect
Calling out names
Saving the moment
—resurrecting the soul
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2015)
The Present Revived
Released from the prison
Of the extended word
Verse offered
Asylum
And a means of escape
Carrying me deep
To where the future-past
Hides
All time to mislead
—as the present conflates
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2015)
