Or Turn You Out


Is remembrance now a hidden tenant,

that lives throughout your home

 

Does it lurk in every corner,

to come out when you’re alone

 

Is the voice heard down a distant hall,

a lost child once left about

 

Does that face now staring through the dark,

draw you in—or turn you out

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
