to speak truth


turn to your right, cough
to your left, sing
in the middle, speak truth

but understand
truth is a complex affair
a paradox, a well-guarded secret
you must thread a needle
with your soul
to come close to it
and to voice it
climb a mountain
of mountains
to a sun made
of suns

better to just sing your joy
or at very least
cough your misery
that's as close to truth
as most of us 
will ever get
