I was perfectly happy,
a singular chime
I was perfectly happy,
alone in my mind
I was perfectly happy,
my world underscored
I was perfectly happy,
my feelings secure
I was perfectly happy,
adrift in my world
I was perfectly happy,
no feeling’s unfurled
I was perfectly happy,
till one fateful day
Now misery haunts me
—in love I must stay
(West Philadelphia: June, 2018)
Present Perfect
You may not cross the darkness,
the morning light unfound
The promise of tomorrow
—today is shining proud
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
