Lipstick on an iceberg

diverts us from its depth

Make up, moody monolith

unthinkable its breadth 

Salty tears sweet droplets?

tearing consciousness

Dull edge or the brighter 

side of righteousness

Out of sight, out of wit

there is so much untold

Playbooks twist doubt-about

shimmer-stream of gold

Hide and seek like children

covering up one's eyes

as if this takes away the world's

ability to see one's guise

Praying and philosophizing

what happens after death?

Dark the glass, light will blind

return the shibboleth

Stretching comfort, sanctimony

seeking always, never found

Big Bang's birth, rainbow's end,

beyond the treasure, underground

Truth or lies or in-between

choose carefully each poise

Tic or scream or long discourse

sound inner or outer noise

Listen to the suno file
