New Offspring


Does your writing dance above the words

or somewhere down below

 

Do voices borrowed and feelings loaned,

occlude your diction’s flow

 

Do phrases couple and stanzas mesh,

in new harmonic forms

 

Does music waltz proudly from page to page

—to score new lyrics born

 

(Walking With Colby: February, 2021)
