Joseph Murphy

I twirled a dried leaf, drawing memories
Of syrup and cinnamon
From the sight of mildewed apple
Set in a porcelain bowl.

You’d have it your way: No more excuses; discoveries.

I lingered on that stretch of beach we’d walked
One well-spent morning,
When we’d paused
To ponder our lives.

We agreed to measure
The breadth of our hopes
Before casting off.

We’d first probe the light
Then the larger dark,
Unconcerned
With what might take shape.
