Raison D' (+3)

Dimension,

Stretching itself

Reaching the unknown

Feeling what can’t be felt

Unnumbered

Not counted or named

Para-atomic

Time abandoned

Intention free

Returning without

Returning within,

Dimension

Nulla Universitas

 

Behind ivy thoughts and mortared speech,

my soul cannot be bought

 

As I worship freely deep within

—the truth forever caught

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

 

Wisdom's Tooth

 

A young poet is to an

older man

 

As an old poet is to a

younger man

 

When young then old,

when old then young

 

The future borrowed,

the past twice sung

 

The old man’s knowledge,

the young man’s youth

 

To bite the deepest

—with wisdom’s tooth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

Damnation Refound

 

A Mississippi back road,

burns in my mind

 

Its memory twice buried,

resurfaces, reminds

 

That Mississippi back road,

you once led me down

 

Perdition, destruction

—damnation refound
