Bonfire At the Gate
Hiding inside the written page,
‘reality’ slipped away
Buried inside a meaning deep,
its wolves were kept at bay
With feelings ablaze, all answers are torched,
a bonfire at the gate
New questions enshrined, false promises burned,
with ash to mark the way
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2014)
