Notes About The Poem

Healed Scars

How the deceit in his eyes blinds like ash,
It clings to me in  deafening silence
As I wail aloud only the moonlight hears...
This lesion from summers ago comes, blunt
That now whenever dusk burns a flame 
I review embers of memories crackling 
Within a buried voice...raging, raging
Like an explosive, thin gas that devours
All the coal within my scorched plight...

But then, his fraudulent gaze now heals my heart.
