The Writer’s Vision of Enduring Repetition

never

the poet said
you see recurrences

over and over
as you get older

like places colonized
seized & named

brutalized
saddled with debt –

don’t be surprised
as proxies fester

or the outright brute
grabs land

grabs booty
scary long arms

weaving a dark
expansive web

the poet said
you see recurrences

over and over
as you get older.
