Pounding honesty
The apparition of faces in my life;
Unwanted connections coated in honey,
Meeting the standards I did not make.
Petals in a jar I have to fill with smiles,
But I'd rather put wet, black memories in it,
And then break the jar with a pounding honesty.
(After Ezra Pound's In a Station of the Metro)
