Fate's Retort

To live within the moment,
  and write as love does now befriend

      “Light shining brightest as 
         hours grow short”

A beginning reunites with
  the journey’s end

       “Memory imploding
          on fate's retort”

A window reopens, 
  my heart beats faster still

      “Epiphany’s march
         neither to nor from”

To be saved in a final breath,
    one last line to say I will

      “The past and future 
          left exposed—undone”

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
