The Writer’s Vision of Enduring Repetition

vision

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.
