Nov 2013
family intrigues
were secreted in the closet
there they stayed
out of sight and out of mind
keeping them
under lock and key
twas always thought best
dragging them out for an airing
wasn't a good idea
but often intrigues
slide from under the closet door
there they are on display
a slip of the tongue
an old letter in a box
things of the past
no more interred
and causing
the discoverer
shock and surprise
the intrigues
positioned
under
open skies
A few weeks ago, I was told of a secret that had been closeted for over 20 years. It was a disclosure, which shocked me.
