Analysis of All Movement Stopped
Like children, pages
drift away adolescent,
refusing what I offer

Defiant
in their questions,
beyond all answers in their parting
Forcing what’s left, to live trapped
in the abandoned distance
between us now
All movement stopped
and estranged, from the very things
we used to know
(Worcester Massachusetts: March, 2011)
