Your truth is
at the end of your fist
I close my eyes
and take it on the chin
I swallow a tooth
and lick the blood
My truth is
at the end of my swing
you take it in the skull
and see the blood
You choke on the truth
with your palms open
Pause
Sometimes it is just about the light
and the warmth it gives
This is the day I will embrace
and walk to it
This is the day it will be okay
Philip V. Coombs 5-6pm
“You choke on the truth
with your palms open”
This was such a good stanza. It just hit the feelings right.
