Deflecting Truth

Illuminating whispers

possess the breathtaking power

of obscurity

with continual showing

of things unfamiliar

to words spoken.

Dark footpaths

wandered by bare feet

rely on uncommitted hands

to carry Diogenes’ borrowed lantern.

Attempts to re-call humanness

are un-re-turned,

with facing nothing.

Not mother,

thoughtfully feeling her way

through this shadowy

and vexing terrain.

Not father

lost and stuck

in a multiflora rose bush

just east of the Bronx River.
