Song For D Poem by Malcolm Evison

Song For D



Sometimes an unforced smile
masks out fragility, band-aid
applied instead
of tourniquet. Sometimes

a fought for strength
defies understanding –

proclaims that everything
will be alright –


denies the fault line
that strives to undermine
the songs foundation.

Sometimes
we must return, strive
to uncover

a truth already known.
