I remember art deco things,
I remember peaches and wine
I remember sirens in the night,
I remember waving goodbye
I remember the boardwalk on a cloudy day,
I remember an elephant in pink
I remember the fire engine returning
I remember my father—I think

‘Memories of Margate during the Korean War’
Can You Rage
Can you paint the picture
brushless
Can you sing the words
while mute
Can you dance the lone
fandango
Can you rage
—beyond your youth
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Those Moments
Is the end something different
than goodbye
Can death extinguish doubt,
beyond all questions why
Is the melody in parts,
forever sung in vain
Are those moments once infusive
—now breezes through the rain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
I\'m Gone
All those years,
you didn’t hear me
All those years,
you seemed so sure
All those days,
you laughed it off
All those nights,
I wanted more
All those lies,
that dug our gravesite
All those tears,
with feeling gone
Now at last
my closet’s empty
Love fell short
—I stayed too long
