The truth is far too truthful for
The literalness of light.
Best to serve it tastefully
On little pools of night.
Secrets are as natural
As shadows in the sun.
Those who would tell all ought tell
A priest, a god, a stone.
There are parts of everyone
That no one wants to share.
Truth is good, but only when
It's detoxed with great care.
