To recite it in a Poem,
or sing it loud and strong
Their union an espousal,
one by measure, one by song
Division cast adrift,
muted sirens fold their wings
This moment reinvented
—words and melody one thing
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
A Gray Dawn
The gray dawn slaughters
the promise of spring,
a desperate last goodbye
Its poisonous haze mocks
a sky forsaken,
the sun again denied
Its blanket lowers
in a shroud of judgment,
whose verdict darkly stained
To deluge its exit
in torrents of thunder
—as light reflects in vain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

Kurt,
āIts poisonous haze mocks
a sky forsaken,
the sun again deniedā
These powerful words have reminded me of an imprisoned individual...imprisoned in her own body...who never saw the light of day! A very harsh and sad situation!
A compelling read!
