Opaque

Opaque

Is the wall
A menacing velvet shawl
That shrouds the lies
That lie between us all.

Desperately enduring
Cloying, covert, and obscuring
All that is and might be.

No glimpse or glimmer penetrates
The tapestry woven, both warp and weft,
Of deceit, malice, and envy deft.

And yet...
Lovely would it be to see
All of us transparently.
