When I think back on all the times that were
—and weren’t
My mind rewrites the answers to the questions
—never asked
To set the time that’s left on fire
—in joyful hope
To rhyme the final ending line
—with one last wish
(Bryn Mawr College: January, 2020)
Yes Plus No Refrain
Living between the spaces,
of what never came to pass
The light rays self-divided,
the present from the past
Living within the moment,
no time to lose or gain
The choices made inversely
—in yes plus no refrain
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
