Poems
Mar 2018
My Words (Hemingway To Gertrude Stein)
Are those thoughts you put in
what I once valued more
Or would what I put out
be the end winning score
Did I need your ears
for my voice to become whole
Or would I rather them deafened
words deep in my soul
In my twenties your opinion
carried some weight
In my thirties I listened
but asked you to wait
In my forties I turned
and walked slowly away
Now alone in the twilight
βto carry the day
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
