Becoming

 

Carving, relentlessly carving; the days sculpting,

long past physical peak, my most essential self

from the imposed, simulated, protocol-conscious

construct of employment years. Shaping the truer me,

daily experiences building my Alexandrian Library,

shelf after shelf filling as I would have them filled

so Goya, Hopper, Bacon, Bach, Pink Floyd and Myles

flow by my stones into my torrent; Du Fu, Kavanagh,

Whitman harmonious with Donegal’s shoreline and skies

and I may finally settle to my own frequency of life,

resonating with my own pleasures and designs.
