Analysis of A Robin Will Sing
Those at my behest…
know that limits persuade
and words orphaned alone
into emptiness hide
with the snow passing on
a new robin will sing
each breath left forgotten
until spoken aloud
as memories fall from grace
—in the silence unnamed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
