Analysis of Transfusion's Masquerade
How can you teach Poetry,
or breathe for someone else
Sharing what your soul has freed,
deep within yourself
Can you cross a bridge unbuilt,
its toll not yours to pay
Squeezing blood from wounds long healed,
—transfusion’s masquerade
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
