Kit Kelen #22 - truth



truth was
always past
the words
but had no
other house

one followed it
hounds and all
whiff weakening

the skin pricked up
sometimes a growl
or any little confidence
could yet betray
the truth

and sometimes
you could taste
it too
sometimes swallow
it could come back up
that was and is
the bitter truth

mainly though
gut's incidental

truth's dense with verbiage
it's been cultivated

and here's the hard cure
some lives are
to tell the truth
until it's gone

be lost
to find a way
