Hourglass Persona

How THY world spins before US
Amist thy grains be telling times
That rein heavy HeArt Up Beats
Down downtrodden moving paths

Births hourglass unique Lit persona
Envelopes skeletal Pit frame work
Stretching babe down persona destiny
Whirl Uni~Verse Ring Blades of Grass

How THEE words furrow past to present
Pre~Sense Pre~Tense Free Verse Insight
Whirl Pool spinning rhyme To Be overt time
Frames projectors unraveling poet perception

Memory recall reels mind dost play back
Success & failure be ying yang boomerang
One hasp to go past MAGA Success stoppage
Bye build ping up failure by stepping stones

One must traverse time tunnel funnel
To Birth Onto Death apex vortex BeVoid
For Ever no one knows what lay beyond
Our Uni~Que “Hourglass Persona”
