* This December, I am reblogging some of the more popular poems and articles that I have posted in the course of the past year. This poem, like many of the others I am reposting, was produced in response to one of Andy Townend/Mara Eastern’s Poetry Rehab prompts https://wordpress.com/read/post/feed/31982590/787692747 *

A Moment

A moment

is a movement

with the v for violence and vengeance

eroded out of it

by time.

*

A moment

is the smallest speck

of time

capable of tilting the scales

of evil and good.

*

A moment

exists

in memory only:

the opposite of uprising;

a reckoning of events.
