Epiphanies
What greater doubt
than if
preceding only,
or hope cascading through the withheld
unspoken phrase?
Or the conditional, as it slows to place
an obstacle in its very own
path. If only I could
I would deny its existence,
but the conjunctive
bears blame as well,
though nothing’s put before
the preposition (which one
would certainly never end with).

“Epiphanies” first appeared here in April 2015.
Monday chuckles always welcome, whether or not constituting an epiphany.
(Thanks!)

I once wrote a poem calling my daughter “epiphany.” I didn’t get all of this until I heeded the punctuation more carefully. Quite picturesque. Well said!
