Line-Crossing
It’s easy to cross a line no one can see.
In fact, you may not need to take a step.
Sometimes the world will move while you stay still.
By holding firm in place,
the net effect
is crossing over galaxies of light,
where truth will keep its eyes closed
In the dark.
Intent is just transparent at its base.
Of course, the eyes won’t capture it at all.
The watcher is the only one who sees,
developing the film
in cultured pans
awash with liquid fears,
and doused by hate.
I told a joke, a harsh one, that’s for sure.
But I was told my dark was visible.
What I hid found its way throughout my face.
My mortal sins, admitted,
closed a gate,
though I had never
visited that place.
