Honesty/Trust Internal Truths
Karyn Indursky
Weepy eyes pour contained
fluids rapidly to touch
fair skin like caresses
while kissing away secrets
hidden behind facades used
automatically in avoidance of
others seeing what lies
beneath beautiful fake smiles
formed after laughter or
even giggles when barely
noticing reality fades because
cosmetics apply quick remedies
upon reddened cheeks before
thorny raindrops wash away
all remainders of what
was seen as yesterday's
glorified victory once gates
were invincible until being
destroyed by pliers pulling out
hinges, nails, paint, time
forcefully in unlocking every
external surface while working
on no longer barricaded
internal truths.
