The years have worn a crooked grin in the paper-mâché mask
that used to hide the ugly parts he groomed and held too long
The sweat and sideways stare seem so distant now,
they're crumpled plaster pain pressing at my aching temples

With callousness he smiles, his eyes are icy glass
They defy the twisted covenant that he pushed with one hand at his side
Two fingers crossed, uncrossing with serpentine regard
while the good lord watches on

I take a grain of salt with the root of my untangling
And discover that I'm stronger than I think
The bright sun burns my skin as I relish the occasion
A weary traveler standing on the brink

If you reach out in pain
You cut down the guilt and shame
