Nov 7
with tremulous whisper
I reveal a most precious secret
a chasm of silence suddenly emerges
dumbfounding my confidence

my world is suddenly smaller
I quickly question my guard rails
did I go too far
misjudge a friend’s understanding

did I trust too much
open a wound best left alone
can I reform it into something more mundane
that my friend can safely absorb

I sound guilty of some obscure evil
but it’s long been festering
if my friend can’t accept and tolerate it
what will I do
