Analysis of New Minds
The greatest truths
should stay unnamed
to discover
for oneself
No footnotes
praising earlier thoughts …
the thirsty
to the well
Virtue gifted
from times long past
in hidden moments
of bliss
Remaining virgin
as yet unloved
for each new mind
—to kiss
(Dreamsleep: September, 2023)
