Absentee

Dare to break the spell
Purge the myths
Where the words wallow so frequently, so easily, so secretly

Set up the clandestine meeting
In a matter of fact sort of way, no more to it than that, no false 
Expectations, no hidden agendas, no place for truth or beauty

A map of California stretches across the table top
Was this his destination? 
That shadow of a man, how imperceptibly we carry our shadows

Dare to break the spell
Purge the myths
Of the doubtful doubts of insincere, and secret, easy, re-creation


from 
Elbowed Out - Love of Listening to Michelangelo
