Exposed Secrets

do not forget that bones are blood
buried to hold more than the flesh.
an open wound would become fresh
a broken dam could yield a flood.

knock carefully, start with a thud
do not break the pot of old tears
there is crying with black fears
when this door reveals what it is.
bury your ear to listen please,
what the eyes can see, the heart hears.
