Dimension,
Stretching itself
Reaching the unknown
Feeling what can’t be felt
Unnumbered
Not counted or named
Para-atomic
Time abandoned
Intention free
Returning without
Returning within,
Dimension
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Nulla Universitas
Behind ivy thoughts and mortared speech,
my soul cannot be bought
As I worship freely deep within
—the truth forever caught
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Wisdom\'s Tooth
A young poet is to an
older man
As an old poet is to a
younger man
When young then old,
when old then young
The future borrowed,
the past twice sung
The old man’s knowledge,
the young man’s youth
To bite the deepest
—with wisdom’s tooth
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Damnation Refound
A Mississippi back road,
burns in my mind
Its memory twice buried,
resurfaces, reminds
That Mississippi back road,
you once led me down
Perdition, destruction
—damnation refound
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
