Redacted


Can one ever truly

A poet's intention

Or are we forever fated

To exist in the dark


To argue over meanings

That may or may not exist

Or exist only for us 

Made up in our minds


All we have are guesses

Based on a set of facts

And vague suppositions

Assumptions and perceptions


Left to fill in the blanks of 

Life's redactions

What  is seen is less important

Than what we believe.
