The Full Story

Thinking creatures don’t mind visiting those rumbles in their heads
that contain their darkest thoughts––both phobias and dreads––
that exist alongside their wishes, hopes and dreams.

walking through their consciousness, sometimes in equal measure,
as though they know that gold and dirt are equally a treasure

to hear the truth of all. the world––its laughter and its wails––
for life consists of tragedies as well as  pretty tales,
