Fates Retort
To live within the moment,
and write as love doth now befriend
“It’s light burning brightest as the
hours grow short”
The beginning reunited
with the journey’s end
“All memory imploding
on fates retort”
But the window stays open,
my heart beats faster still
“The march to freedom
neither to nor from”
Time enslaved in a final breath
one last line to say I will
“The past and future
left exposed—undone”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
