Poetry list
the way back is the way forward
the road we travel
in our journeys is
strangely different
even new on our exact
return the retrace
is a reverse and a
revelation left and
right junctions and
perspectives all are
transformed into a
different route with
familiarity meta
morphosed perhaps so
all our living – we
force repetition and
exactitude to make
verisimilitude our
security when the
path is never ours
alone and at the
end we have no
control only sight
and invitation to the
new that never lives
in then or now
