second semester lit
end the madness and make old things new again
so many overused words
can you name one
will you dare
may I start with ominous
or something less
mysterious
like life or death
it matters not which words
become misused
or misunderstood
be it recently
or centuries ago
reinvented by the likes
of poetic artisans
november two thousand twenty-two
