Name dropping success…
a first name basis with failure
Hope into the wind,
heartache on the approaching storm
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2020)
Past That Place
If words were notes upon a score,
would the melody play beyond…
Each phrase a chord, each line a hymn,
each paragraph a song
If words could sing harmonic,
as their letters drift away
Would music take you past that place
—words now force you to stay
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
