The Swinging Door

Cowardice and bravery
Not either/or
But different levels of…

Valor and shame
A swinging door
Whose facings change when swung

A foil to confound
The poets dream
With glory and disdain

Bravery and cowardice
Not zero-sum
 -but often look the same

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
