And then, I realizedA Poem by Robert Ross
What you could not tell me;
as distinct as a infant's cry, was why? Had the torture within you rattled the bars and forced you to plead sweet ignorance? Would you have understood an alibi, had I delivered it to you in homonyms? Were we a pair, had we pared? Or did one of us bite too harshly on the pear? Or would you continue with me, the way you knew how... artfully coy, and full of deception? and then, I realized I knew... had always known and therein is the rub that has left me bare, a bear, a grizzly discovery. © 2011 Robert Ross |
