Poetry by Tom Ferguson

The Apt Word
by Tom Ferguson

a glance at the family tree:
pages of stills
of emotion suspended
in artful/less poses

events
before
between
aft
photos
implied
to the ends of imagining

the consciousnesses involved
portals to breathtaking beauty
reduce-able all
to an array of energy
for which
no word more apt
love
