Self Revelation


It is amazing to me how much we reveal about ourselves in our critiques of others.

Three Tagmemics

Seven

Heartened by surgery,
The house a playpen, I pick at
Rubble in the carpet,
Beside myself with glee
And severe hiccups.

Three

Having mourned the silence,
Beard growing, boulders press
Down on the ribcage.
The body roiled by weeping,
The voice, exhausted.

Five

Resigned to be honest,
Knees broken, shoulders crimp
Out from the wheelchair
Under the strict rubric
Of an amiable recovery.

If an insect crawls
across my back, I run for
a mirror, and strip.
A soul at peace is a pool
on which reflections glimmer.

One learns from listening.
Listening takes less energy than speaking.
