Analysis of Vanishing In The Mist



The visionary Poet,
blind to the word
Framing the consciousness
of a thousand lost days
Riding the emotion
of a memory set free
Escaping the entrapment
of description’s pretense
Vanishing in the mist
—like a rewoken dream

(University Of Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
