Analysis of No Longer Hot



Is there disappointment in arrival…
anticipation the crown jewel

Are the accolades left hollow,
uncertainty what’s new

Is acceptance yours or theirs to own,
all badges keyed to lock

Does your soul ignite once past the flame
—your words no longer hot

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
