better secrets
bitter lives
heirs to a family's
plight
through literary truths
authors mark hills
with redemption's pulp
unlikely abductions of conscience
taken for granted
consequences
retarded but lively
hope collected away
from race
and legacy
life
love and pleasure
a mosaic
of listening
dream always
in peace
but live in
love's most solid belief
the mead of the spirit
lies ever in laughter's
full step
to carry a body forward
unto its own
idea of nirvana.............
