Too Early Too Late

written by: Alan David Gould

Everything leaves something out
The incompletes forming an intricate disconnect
that would take time lapse to visualize
Billions of miscues, misquotes, missed opportunities
like shorts in the optic fiber of our collective being

One ill-timed moment of realization like a laser,
connecting participles
Welding fragments of a world
that we forever build
too early, too late

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
