The Muse in the tower,
whose debt you enthrone
Those jewels that you borrow,
—her crown still on loan
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
Aberrant
How do you reclaim
thoughts that have gone
How do you say something
you can’t
How do you breathe new life
in your song
With words now escaped,
—aberrant
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
Blues Speak
Bend that reed,
Stretch that chord,
Split that vowel,
—drive home the word
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
