I just wrote this over on the "VITALITY" thread - it was a chill challenge. If you haven't checked that section out, go do so now!!! If you're feeling that nasty word which shall not be spoken.... [blocked] ... the challenges may be just what you need to get your muse going again.
We Dance Around the Truth
We dance around the truth
sloe-eyed with tempered voices
greeting exchanging words
worlds away from those
that lie so tasty
beneath our tongues
We are gripped in politeness
insulated by the institutions
of Decorum and Gentility
and Reputation
there is no reveal
no trace of what once
was spring
and a floodwater
rush of....
no, there is no trace
It is autumn now
even we can feel
the chill
