Analysis of Past September
What are words
if not remembered
What are feelings
never spent
What is time
if not then fleeting
What is love
not heaven sent
What are gifts
beneath the wrapping
What are wishes
beyond all hope
What is love
once past September
What is left
—when faith elopes
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
