Dipping his toe
in the river’s denial,
uncertain of its depth
Floating his memories
on ripples of fate,
his deepest secrets kept
Refusing to sink
excuses cut free,
his reasons left to buoy
Erasing his doubts
the island ahead
—all sharks turned into Koi
(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
Libertas
The present is in your future,
the present in your past
The present a sacred mystery,
its moment to unmask
The present is in your memory,
the present in your dreams
The present neither begins nor ends
—eternity set free
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
