New poem: "My Afterlife Perspective"

 

My Afterlife Perspective

 

I have an afterlife perspective on life

that gives me all the freedom I want

to walk through every system of human

thought and not get stuck in the mire

of inevitable doubt; and as happy as I

am in my afterlife perspective, it’s

not something that I can share without

being labelled “strange,” “weird,” or

“something else.” But not unlike the

mystic poet of Amherst, Massachusetts

who told her truth “slant,” I work my

afterlife perspective on life in the poems

I write, because that’s what I’ve been

called upon by life to do.

 

Composed in Georgian Bay, Ontario

Monday, April 8, 2024, on the day

of a total solar eclipse.
