Today you
couldn’t look your conscience in the eye.
You had to
hold it up and out, away from you
while you
persisted in what you had plausibly
convinced yourself
had been a necessary lie.
But then you
wondered why
you needed
this relentless spy
whose endless
mission was to pry
and prod you
to deny.
And so you
let it sigh –
allowed its
weightless blue transparency to float
above, beyond
and into the immeasurable sky --
and waved it a goodbye..
