Whole Punched


Imperfection keeps me fertile,

like the storm upon the plain

 

Measuring the distance,

of what’s lost and sometimes gained

 

With my thoughts I mark the hours,

left uncounted looking back

 

The choices made and prices paid

—endorsing what I lack

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
