as bitter as your lines read
to the bluntness of
a near blunder
one has to ask
were your words sincere
or more so
just some 'Playful Misconduct'
a jab at a particular or indiscriminate
someone
honed thus so
to hit upon a certain nerve
or were you merely pulling arrows from
your disgruntled quiver
unleashing their sharp barbs into
the filtered blackness of the nothingness
of night
'tis a puzzle of earnest jest worth solving
it's trajectory a millimeter's path
from potential damage to a tired
disbelieving heart.................
