Fore And After


Married to only what’s on the page,

each word I wedded

 

The cheers and accolades silenced,

my vow applauded

 

Spoken or read each line was reborn,

within the covers

 

That blanket the fore and after of time

—betrothed to forever

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)
