2014 | 13 | The risks we take when we insist on telling the truth.

With the swiftness of
three swallows,
A long dagger in the right,
And on the left
A short shrift.

From subtle fascination
to manipulative glamour;
We will not tolerate
the endurance of anger.

We prefer instead,
that you come closer.

Come closer to feel
the tender thrust,
the short
shiv.

The
truth.
