For 2005: Which End Is Up?
[a chest poem]
WHISPER
expire with the passing time
decay
fray
shoved back into the lining
in pockets of hooded petty coats
turncoat of emotional release
where mint juleps sprinkle forget-me-nots
silent fables grass grown
but referred to
for secrets
yet to be harshly disrobed
a begged plea
reeking with regret
untold
but harbored
for once was thought of
as safe keeping
LIES
for once thought of
as safe keeping
but harbored
untold
reeking with regret
a begged plea
yet to be harshly disrobed
for secrets
referred to
silent fables grass grown
where mint juleps sprinkle forget-me-nots
turncoat of emotional release
in pockets of hooded petty coats
in pockets of hooded petty coats
shoved back into the lining
to fray
decay
expire with the passing time
undeserved
trust
a
securing
fallacies
hushed
oozed
YOU
oozed
hushed
fallacies
securing
a
trust
undeserved
