Truth to Tell?

When care suggests to share at fault,

the choice tectonic, implicate,

but to protect is covenant,

though even nightmare in effect.

It’s telling, taking toll by tales,

non-fiction, biographical,

but stock-take, can those shares have worth,

when all cashed in and crash results?

Uneasy case, not cut and shut,

accusative not what about,

to be a complement itself,

but truth to tell may not be whole.

To leave a hole, holistic rite,

relate it all, call misty eyes

and cloud where fog should be retained -

no mystery, best just unsaid.
