shallow waters

shallow waters

 

 

spinning adversaries

pivoting slanderous words

in my direction,

a poet's catch

which nets rejection

the hideous nature of truth

 

many will cower from it

throw stones at the writer

feeling it is better to skip their unhappiness

across a poetic pond,

 

than look in the mirror

and stop dancing

on their pedestal...
