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
