eye to eye

when we don't see eye
to eye that's the quiet
place we need to be to
pare open the soft
underbelly of
lies disguised
as truth and
set free
that
uncomfortable
unrest that
roots like
a sharp
spine
through
entrails of
self delusion
until some pale
meaty bone breaks
through salty
soil and we
are once
again warmed
by the flame of
hungry intellect
sparked by fifty-
five million years
of primate evolution
when at last we see
eye to eye.
