Fated Current


Are you the latest one I’ve left alone,

heart Shanghaied—no goodbye

 

Are you wondering why as questions loom,

the answers high and dry

 

Were you sure you’d be the only one,

to wade misfortune’s tide

 

As that fated current pulled me back

—to drift again untied

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2020)
