  • who knows?

    Goldfinch ravishing the sunflowers!  Too much yellow!

    Too loud; his song demanding…screeching:  Me! Me!

    Entertaining, but not subtle enough for beauty?  Maybe.

    Though there are truths he does parade; offering for a fee.

    Can beauty only be the delicate; truth only glaring?

    “The truth is ugly!” “You can’t handle the truth!”

    A curve of flesh, real, depicted or imagined can still

    Elicit bliss; the intuited joy of the incorruptible line.

    Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Iliotbial, Peroneus enfolded;

    The legs perfection of muscle, tendon, bone and skin.

    Middle-aged crisis guy entranced by a woman’s legs;

    Her elongated neck’s porcelain skin, shiver releasing.

    Does need dictate the beauty we see…becoming our truths?

    Truth might be beauty; perceived beauty our only truths.
