Analysis of In Hoc Momento
Sitting neither left nor right
but on the different side of things
Polarity drifts off
like the ending note in a forgotten song
The past and future saying
one final and lasting goodbye
As time becomes a wandering orphan
—and the moment set free
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)
