MISSING THE MARK

There’s more here

Than meets the eye

Troubleshooting 

Darts fly


The musk of a rose,

Tender

The notes of a wren,

Trill


Words are plenty

Wisdom scarce

Eyes see through water

But sight is cursed

We see no messages in matter

Too quick to rip roses to scatter

Showering fame’s blank ways

While hearts unheard

Weep

Pitter-patter
