Analysis of Past That Place
If words were notes upon a score,
would the melody play beyond…
Each phrase a chord, each line a hymn,
each paragraph a song
If words could sing harmonic,
as their letters drift away
Would music take you past that place
—verse forces you to stay
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
