SOLITIUDE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO


ANOTHER QUIET DAY SPENT
IN A WAYWARD CAFE
CONTEMPLATING THE MEMORIES
WITH EACH SCARRING REMINDER
AS WELL AS THE DEFENSIVE REJOINDER
RATIONALIZING THE IRREVERSIBLE ACTIONS
MISSPENT MOMENTS GONE AWRY
WITH EACH SIP OF TEA
A GLANCING PASSERBYE
WITH THEIR OWN MEMORIES
NEVER MEETING EYE TO EYE
NOR NOTICING THE EXPRESSIONS
OF EACH TURNED AWAY FACE
THERE IS A BACKHAND TO THIS LOGIC
OF COMING TO THIS QUIET PLACE
BUT NEVER MEETING ANYONE
NO NEED FOR LONG GOODBYES
NOR ENDLESS CONVERSATION
STARING AT EACH MOVEMENT MADE
YOUR SILENT PARTNER A DANGLING MARINETTE
ABOVE YOU PEERING DOWN
WITH ONE MISSING CASTINET
WHICH HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO DEFINE YOU
AND YOUR FEELINGS EACH AND EVERY DAY
THAT FIND YOURSELF SIPPING TEA
WITH YOUR MEMORIES
IN A WAYWARD CAFÉ

GARDEN OF POSSIBILITY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO

ENFOLDED BLOSSOM DORMANT DIVINE
WAITING TO UNFOLD IN ALL BRILLIANCE
BENEATH UNKNOWN SUNSHINE
EACH BLISSFUL OFFERING
ANTICIPATES REDEMPTIVE SMILE
RAISING DOWNTRODDEN THOUGHT
WITH A MERE INQUISITIVE GLARE
EXUDING TEMPTATION'S NECTAR
FROM EACH ANTICIPATED BUDDING PEAR
DANGLING FROM A HOPEFUL TREE OF LIFE
RADIATING FROM EDEN'S GARDEN
WHERE YOU RIPEN GENTLY
BENEATH HEAVEN'S OPAQUE LIGHT
SOON TO BURST FORTH IN BEAUTY
BEYOND ANY PRECEDENT DESCRIBED
TO HAUNT THE MEMORIES OF ALL
WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR POSSIBILTY
AND IT'S UNWAVERING PROMISE
TO SET THESE LOST SOULS FREE
WITH A MERE GLIMPSE OR TOUCH
FOR ALL ETERNITY
