GETTING IT RIGHT

IT IS EASY TI MISS THE MARK WHEN YOU TRY TO PIN DOWN AN IDEA

GETTING IT RIGHT


 


Words flutter like moths


around the flame of an idea.


So close,


but not close enough


flirting with the warmth and light


but avoiding the fire.


While the truth curls upward


in a sooty spiral


and smudges the ceiling.
