Sold Unborn


Give me back my kidnapped youth,

distiller of the night

 

Return the sun from whence it’s gone,

expose this darkened fright

 

Give me back the future-past,

all memory on the run

 

Return those days once sold unborn

—to where my joy has gone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2020)
