Epiphany

late Gk. epiphaneia "manifestation, striking appearance"

 

With fear and trembling and fear,

I often dissemble and sputter incoherently,

 

and apparently it’s driving certain people

 

                   INSANE...

 

or so I’m told. They say "It's as plain as the nose on your face"

 

 

and I imagine the scent of sanity as freckled roses in warm rain.

I always wonder that you aren't visited more often. This makes me wish I possessed freckles. The kind that come and go.

[Emily B]

that last line, yes, I like it very much

[Emily B]

you are one of my favorite poets . . . you say so much in your lines. Not plain, not sputtering or incoherent but always an adventure

[Ed Hart]

yes, humiliation comes in necessary increments
