Revelation Photos aren't supposed to flatter
they're supposed to dig deep gashes
into your petty skin
batter your egg-soaked façade
reveal the multi-faceted soul within
as diverse as glass shattered;
break the reflection
establish transparency
bring forth
what suns don't shine
what isn't fine
what's yours what's mine
and the smirking beast
howling rancorous
in the murky mudpool that is
your bloodstream,
pour forth, bask in the flash
that captures your human
failings, tha serpent's rapture
that ruptures demure complacency
