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)
