revealed
you’d think a personal approach might do
the trick not saying it straight or by default
that mum’s the word or mime or any close
lipped mutterance or gesticulation
so will this pass muster or count as much
tears of sorts blood of course dictatorship
by assertion by approval by fear
of assiduous outcomes like more tears
more blood more words more indications of
mortality avoided by default
and yet the sky yawns empty the seasons
turn on nothing but latitude and spin
your brain ages it’s passed its use by date
you struggle to encounter anything
but her and him and it and nothing else
relax it’s how it is and always was
the rest is thought just thought thought thought thought thought
