Love To Recompose

If you cut it up in pieces, will you miss the whole unseen Its DNA in tatters, and soul now left the scene In your search for understanding do your eyes burn hot and fry From visions tightly woven, —whose knots you must untie When your world is brought to rubble, with its remnants cast about Will you try to re-inflate balloons, whose air has long blown out But tomorrow there’s a sunrise, and the next day after that With not one question you need ask, to bring the daylight back And once you learn this secret, now at rest upon your nose Your mind will free with spirit joined, —their love to recompose (Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
