Analysis of Renewal
Poetic verse, to praise or curse,
its edge to save or wound
Now less than dear, on fewer ears,
whose silence will entomb
A finer point, the words anoint,
when fired both straight and true
Its arrows sharp, to hit the mark
—the past again renewed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
