Leaky Savages
Memories unfold
leaky savages in my pain garden
Sorrow creeps in gloved
pantomiming gentility
obscuring reality
Smiles shatter resolve
a pointless masquerade
All leaky savages in my pain garden
Dancing round
placating
posing
pointless
And I succumb
sour-faced and desirous
of something infinitely better
Power beyond leaky savages
and pantomimed gentility
Truth
That's it
I want truth
Don't you
