I Am Open Poem by Anthony Weir

I Am Open



like a wound
that smiles
and kisses with
its tender edges
knives & rags
and flies & thorny hedges.

Beggars
are
the only
heroes.

I sincerely liked this. A poem of certainly no equivocation; this is the truth, the Truth, occupying this poem, wholly and wonderfully. Cheers, BWF.
