Poem - The Trick

The Trick

Is to cut through the everyday noise & clutter
Spam & junk mail,
Empty solicitations from synthesized voices

The trick is to have the cajones to grab a sharp knife &
Slice through tendon, cartilage & muscle, open the bone
To the light of beauty & longing

The trick is working the jackhammer & the dynamite
For as long as it takes to bring down the walls of illusion & deceit

The trick is to stand naked, alone & unashamed
On the steps of the temple where nobody hides behind money or medals
Or Jesus

Can you do it?

Me neither
