White-out
The writer carefully places
the thin white-washed
black bristles of the brush
over his errors
and masquerades his mistakes
—“form” to “from,”
“ate” to “eight,”
“there” to “their.”
Wouldn’t Life be easier
if one could bleach or blot out
the blotches and blemishes,
the sins and smears
of the Heart—
from lie to truth,
cruelty to compassion,
hate to love?
