Myself To Keep
Social Distancing not so strange,
I've been doing it for years
The world a feelings length away,
old lovers left in tears
I shared what I shared early,
with my short pants not yet off
Trusting in my family first,
I learned-but Oh the cost
For fifty years I've cloistered,
my psyche left to roam
Acquaintances to come and go,
true feelings mine to own
As harbormaster of this port,
one ship is anchored deep
To sail the inmost seven seas
alone-myself to keep
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2020)
