The Slip Poem by mimi brown

The Slip



During deep discussion it slipped out;
the tiger long caged, the skeleton in the closet.
A secret so hidden, it's cobwebbed form
floated unheard for seconds.
Suddenly, the light grew brighter and
there, on his face, the knowledge he has
always had became truth.
Unable to continue, he walked from the room,
his shoulders sagging as he went.
