Deja Vu (+1)

The Future…

   is but the past unloved

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)

The Thread

Is there a thread that binds and ties…

 an artist to his art

Is it thin or thickly woven,

  will it hold or come apart

Is it there to free or strap one down,

 with the memory of its form

Does its very nature reattach,

 when in fury it is torn

Does it link in stark remembrance,

 all that’s past and gone away

Does it keep the truth within arms reach

 —when again we’ve lost our way

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

Distant Storms

While calling to the ages,

  I gave up on today

All voiced precipitation,

  for someone else to spray

Writing above what’s forecast,

  with readers yet unborn

My words beyond the thunder

   —to ride on distant storms

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
