Only a photograph
can truly stop time
framed in remembrance
—forever sublime
(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)
Quote The Raven
A hole that can’t be filled
an ocean that can’t be crossed
a phrase that can’t be spun
inhaling your exhaust
The measure off the scale
the truant thrice reclassed
the memory twice forgotten
the die that’s never cast
A spider web unwoven
a future distant past
a God beyond religion
a sail without its mast
“To Trip The Light Fantastic”
to burn the bridge uncrossed
to fasten moments end to end
—to find what time has lost
(The New Room: February, 2022)

Thank you
Contrasts, contradictions, the oxymoron of life. Nicely Done!
Thanks, paradox and contradiction unlock the mysteries
of life. My favorite being the \'Trinity.\'
I'm in Villanova 🙂
In 1962, and before they threw me out, there was a Bray in
my freshman class at Malvern Prep.
