Balance Your Life
by Rob LittlerA man’s eyes reveal nothing
When no one is looking—and when
They are—when the truth that absorbs the sweat
Above the brow, is wiped in silence.
A man’s heart reveals everything, when
The pace is pulsed into the ground
Through his heels, letting the sky
See what his sadness reveals—
That a whole lifetime of chatter
Chatters. That voices do carry,
But carry no significance. It is the dance,
The stance one supposes that makes
Truth a difficult drink to imbibe—
Even when his eyes do consume
More than a stomach can ever hope to disperse.

Chatters. |
