The Reasons Falter
Do you write the words
or do they write you
Are the feelings tattered
or something new
Do you speak in tongues
or in muted silence
Are the moments sacred
or void of credence
Do the questions answer
themselves in time
Do the phrases mingle
but never rhyme
Do the reasons falter
excuse to reign
Do the moments linger
—tomorrow framed
(Newtown Square Pennsylvania: April, 2022)
