TRUTH 2

Truth came to stroke, hold with joke
sprinkle justice and joy
transform lies with tears
lift hearts from holes
with bells on her toes

Out of the dirt, up the stairs
eating mushrooms with dare
breath in human hair
listens to rolling drums with care
sucks sweet nectar
She senses through many lenses

Truth comes to give Grace
sweetbreads and shout-outs
petals, stardust and eggs
across ages and aeons
from Mercury, Venus and Mars
to give answers
in glasses with stems
between shells from lagoons
gleaming, as goldfish swim between

Her breath smells of grass newly cut
exuberant nasturtium and lily in hug
another sword melts away

Truth is hay in a barn
where couples lie
butternut soup on a winter’s table
where fathers laugh with a terrier
in good health
Siamese purring on a persian rug

Truth is all
She completes a circle
Opens up channels
Joyously
