Our lies may remain forever as fossils but they are not the flesh of our souls

Fossils of forgotten lies


Like petals pressed between the pages,
butterflies stuck on pins,
like old gum lurking 'neath the desktop,
cold secrets held within,
these traces of our deepest passion
thoughtlessness or sin,
form fossils of forgotten lies and
images, rarely deeds,
but never bones or flesh or songs,
just petals, scattered weeds.
