Dark Intaglio Poem by Patti Masterman

Dark Intaglio

Rating: 5.0


I see their transparent eyes
still holding no secrets;
if the opaque are charmed,
The obvious are indifferent.

If truth is the avarice
of refusing to lie,
the blatant are sinners-
and dissemblers, divine.

If courage is fear
when you can't run away,
then dignity's refusal
to join the fray.

Good, very good; a cut above most!
