The Prize You Seek
Dragnetting with the spoken word,
trying to trap what you can’t see
Unbaited, your net cast far and wide,
in a dark and foreign sea
Over and over, you pull in your lines,
with nothing again to show
The prize you seek, swimming wild and free
—at a depth you’ll never know
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
