No Longer Hot
Is there disappointment in arrival…
anticipation the crown jewel
Are the accolades left hollow,
uncertainty what’s new
Is acceptance yours or theirs to own,
all badges keyed to lock
Does your soul ignite once past the flame
—your words no longer hot
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
