SONG FOR D


SONG FOR D


Sometimes an unforced smile

masks out fragility, band-aid

applied instead

of tourniquet. Sometimes


a fought for strength

defies understanding –


proclaims that everything

will be alright –


denies the fault line

that strives to undermine

the songs foundation.


Sometimes

we must return, strive

to uncover


a truth already known.
