Analysis of Tomorrow's Yesterday
Paying the price for a life ill lived,
my spirit torn and scarred
Those things undone, weigh heavy now,
old choices prey and mar
I thought the past behind me sure,
alas, naivete
Each memory loose to track and hunt
—tomorrow’s yesterday
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)
