Denial

Cohesive is the denial
that binds the halcyon mask
to the wounded worn face.

Behind its cover,
are bleary eyes
ablaze with emerald.

On the lip's creases
cleave the emulous lies
too hard to swallow.

Dark, harrowing, nightmarish . . . it takes courage to look behind the mask and reveal what is there.

Swept away by this take on denial.
I smile in wonderment.
