Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

The Road Behind Grows Short

              Living in the past
                 wondering if it lasts

              How long mem’ries endure 
                 not forever to be sure

              The road behind grows short 
                 that in front, an escort

               to ashes moribund
                 that smolder in the gut
