Self Revelation


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

    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.

  2. 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.

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