    The Leper

    (Blessed by the disease of truth)

    Somewhere in the midst of terror and confusion


    Lies the truth
    Locked in a wooden box.

    Sometimes I find the box


    Open it; touch the blue gleaming ball with my fingertips
    Roll it in my palm
    Grasp it true and strong in my hand.

    For a moment it flows through me


    Then it melts away
    Back into its box
    Locked.

    It waits
    Until the lies blast from the air around me
    When it returns to shimmer at my side
    Glowing, laughing with me or at me
    As I cry.
