Chapter Four
After three score years
I know
there’s a lot of editing needed
revisions, deletions,
passion for truthfulness
needs to be tempered
with discretion
tongue snake left coiled
a little longer
but alas, the moving finger,
the moving finger
Now the remaining time
beckons
and I take up the pen again
humbled, challenged,
yet I fear
not much wiser
wondering about the snake
who sheds his skin
and about the one
inside, emerging
like a moving finger
