Gale Warning (+1)

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)
