holding back showing restraint juggling calculated risks his every pause more revealing than discourse or soliloquy his every whisper from depths within divulging wrinkled corners every show don’t tell more touching than the last suggestive and persuasive every ounce measured delicate in formula where precision is an art every half truth a confession between the lines unhinged by eloquence every goodbye harder than the last in salacious undertones Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~CITYLIGHTS~ 2021 AP: 3rd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on January 25, 2022 for contest A STRAND (1059) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST Originally posted on August 12, 2021

This is a poem that encourages more than one reading. So many lines to digest; not easily read in one reading Line. A fantastic job.
