Cardstock

Composure of remand,

a cautionary scale,

the assumptions that are made,

the you and not what's gave.

Presently served plate lets,

the ever remedy with no regret,

the casual of no show,

produces only seed.

The growth of what is planted,

a potted sort of tree,

the roots of merely spoken,

created what is soaked-in.

Should the whale whisper,

I'm drowning in the pain,

would the drill be drifters,

that drove in further disdain?

As what differs letters,

the Poet or the Debtor,

a point to only listen,

crosses all the better.

Retention of a memory,

the Ancient pact of semblance,

does not regard the guilty,

as more than just what's filthy.

An avid reader places,

understanding on the faces,

what is never seen,

defines more than erases.
