Yesterday's Past


Hiding behind his writing,

he went from day to day

 

Whispering memories from yesterday’s past,

the truth in disarray

 

Buried in moments now borrowed,

the clock running shorter than long

 

All words out on pawn, tomorrow in hock

—his message forgotten and gone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)
