He said her love of then not worth a single thing
and she looked into the air like a woman does
when listening for the ring of truth
and she held that pose a moment more
with all her senses well attuned.

Finally, reluctantly, she nodded silently
and returned to meet his gaze
like a woman knows to do
when the ring of truth unheard.

There followed then a forward reach
as if he knew he’d hit the nail
into the wood of truth
but he didn’t know like women do
that truth cannot be hit
from the outside in.

Only she can hit the nail
and make a hole in all she knows
and so she sought a hammer
within her body needs
but all she found were feathers
that tickled on the surface
and not within the depths.

And like a woman knows to do
she back-tracked speedily
to the safety of her bubble
that wants and needs to break
but cannot with the weight
of only a feather.

So she sighed and sighed again
and still she sighs today
because there is no wish or will
to knock holes into her truth!

Helen~
You write from a deeo inking well ... thoughts always ponderous ... thoughts that send me searching for one interwoven in the lines~

This one has a sad truth in it ...~
