Listen to poem:

Unavoidable Mortal Sojourn

Unavoidable Mortal Sojourn
David J Walker

We come from a place of 
Faded imaginations 
Drifting in waves
	In past shades of
A different sunlit afternoon

That bakes bronzed skin in
Tones of a next thanksgiving 
We bow our heads in prayer and 
Sinful humiliation 

Expecting a regeneration 
Of our own recondite youth 
An embattled ineffable truth of
An unavoidable mortal sojourn
