Analysis of Fate To Recall
Life on the fringes
ignoring your pain
words were my fortress
again and again
Riding the fence line
fixing the wire
judgment expelling
intruders and liars
Distance and loneliness
harken and call
wisdom and certainty
fate to recall
One final time
to emerge from my cave
bandage your heartache
—myself I then save
(The New Room: April, 2022)
