from "Sonnet, a Renga"

communication, identity formation, irony, life, poetry


he carves
the wood
a slow shaping
and molding
of the mask
he wants
to wear
removing
the life
he wants
to hide
—
because
no one
listens
it’s easy
to speak
honestly
which
otherwise
would be
unwise
a mountain
tower
protects
obviously
