and a tale worth dying for....

Last Reflection
Marking time in present tense
  old memories left to rust

The past a distant reverie
  its truth beyond my trust

Looking straight into the sun
  my eyes reopen wide

A last reflection staring back
  —remembrance so divine

Yesterday's Song
Losing connections one by one …
my mind has drifted back  
This moment caught within a cloud   
the past sharp as a tack

I reminisce in present tense
new frames of reference gone
With that most recent going dim
but still—I hear that song   

(Bryn Mawr Hospital: March, 2023)...
