Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

What We See

The moon need not apologize for phases,
No sense of guilt even abstract assume -- 
It’s the human heart alone that falsely
Translates, shades and uncovers wrongly.

Seas can bear witness, 3rd eye peering
Through filtered wave.  The pond alike 
Shallow, no retractions necessary for glossing
Over depths. 

We should Not look too closely
At one another, for often the surface is no
Cover-up but what simply rises to the
Top, given Time the Universal purifier.
