Analysis of somewhere still
Edward L. Canavan 1971 (New York)
caressing
the outside
edges
drawn
to the darkness
of being
there are places in the mind
for the heart to stand alone
and be right with it
and be silent
to find
the deeper shade
of soul
amidst the cacophonous minutiae
of everything all at once.
