telling his story
the yield of a lifetime
acquired rough skin
a concretion of sins
the wear and the wounds
hard with healing
constituent elements
evident of an identity
marking him openly
outward for all the
wide world to be seen
inward for all that an
edified conscience
may settle his truth
Has the feel of reflection carried forth; a truth and so much more…clever stuff
