Dead to himself,
he stepped on the ice
Cracks beginning
to form
Transcendence rejected,
skating a path
In search of time
forlorn
Crossing each memory,
forgiveness in sight
Each step,
a weighted cost
Redemption melting,
new hope in denial
Last chance
—to come across
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
Epiphany's Light
If only genius could be contagious,
like chicken pox or flu
If only brilliance could be transferred,
like a bank draft overdue
If only insight could be replayed,
like a Mozart symphony
Then epiphany’s light would shine on all
—in communal rhapsody
(Ashbridge Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
The Boat Rocks
Nothing more defended
than the status quo
To protect and covet,
never let go
Attacked by outsiders,
heels to dig in
Rocking the boat
—water within
(Ashbridge Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
