The Future Claimed


Moments of clarity stop the clock,

but time rolls on and on

 

Unrecorded, to stay embedded 

in each wish unfulfilled

 

Tranquilizing the fleeting doubt 

that truancy sets free

 

Returning with the future claimed 

—to liberate the past

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)
