Twin Pillars

Is there a balance

Between poetry and prose

Anymore than a balance

between these and those

 

Is there a balance

Between poetry and prose

Or maybe a marriage

Where ‘heaven only knows’

 

If there’s a balance

Between poetry and prose

Are there rules to be broken

Where anything goes

 

Or is the real balance

Between poetry and prose

Truth sitting on top

  —their twin pillars below

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)
