Those who dig to hide themselves

Vishakha

They stand

where the cliff ends

In the corner,

where the whole truth bends

Piled up by

the uncovered layer of lies

They stay, never the same,

they want to hide

The fist, once filled

with the sand of trust

Now, devoured by the emptiness,

moments lost in gusts

They hear them, as if,

they only live in silence

But they defy the glimpse of screech,

even when they feel some violence

    This poem is deep in metaphor and speaks to me. Loved the image of the corner where truth bends as do the walls at 90 degrees. Uncovered layer of lies that stay never the same. So well stated of the nature of lies. I could go on and on. A very well thought out and emoted poem a fave
