-------------------

Watching a hurricane
won’t get you wet
And reading more Freud
won’t help you forget

Mouthing the words
cannot guarantee sound
Laden with fear
hiding guilt by the pound

Stated intent
broken pathways to roam
Paring good wishes
right down to the bone

New skin in the game
and wounds that won’t heal
Eluding the cries
— and truth unrevealed
