The Truth

The truth comes to me The truth loves me But I don’t love the truth Unless it’s the truth of couplets Winding and twisting their way In and out of waxy eardrums Gone bad. I don’t know the sound Of birds wings beating against The rhythm of blues But blue skies have no rhythm, Only harmony. And harmoniously Inconspicuously I crawl And my shadows torture those Who would like to watch. I don’t know why you would like to And I hate you for it.
