Walking With Verse (+3)

With each step that I take,

  words jostle and form

 

Inside me they cluster,

  deep down where it’s warm

 

At nighttime they visit,

  in moments of peace

 

Defining my feelings

  —extending my reach

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)

 

 

Desire

 

Passion builds a home

 —that talent only visits

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)

 

 

As The World Turns

 

When the world turns on a whisper
—why do we insist on shouting

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2014)

 

 

Locked In Kayenta

 

Where are you headed...
the waitress asked me at breakfast

Where have you been to...
I responded in kind

Never down to the Canyon,
though I’ve always meant to go there

I’m headed to the Canyon
—now go quit your job
