The Thread

Is there a thread that binds and ties… an artist to his art Is it thin or thickly woven, will it hold or come apart Is it there to free or strap one down, with the memory of its form Does its very nature reattach, when in fury it is torn Does it link in stark remembrance, all that’s past and gone away Does it keep the truth within arms reach —when again we’ve lost our way (Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
