You mortgage the future
with the currency of time
To buy out your fate
with more meter and rhyme
But one look through the darkness
past devil and saint
Explodes your true oneness
—the moment ordained
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
Without And Within
The moment…
something other than time
A consonant failure,
its freedom in rhyme
Happening once,
as it happens again
Beyond every measure
—without and within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
