Not the worship of ashes
but transmission of fire
Time at its best
will the Muses inspire
Nostalgia and tears
rebury the past
With passion incarnate
— this moment to last
(Connelly Center: September, 2025)

Training to hear
what cannot be seen
Training to feel
what cannot be deemed
Training to say
what cannot be read
Training to mime
what cannot be said
Training to free
what cannot be caught
Training to know
— what cannot be thought
