Ripples

serendipity
threw beauty
across my path
“thank you”
I said
“but was it
looking for me?”

and beautiful
exposed
a warm
harmony
witty
and wordy
and a little bit bawdy

then lightning bolt
that moment
of
startling candour
surely not
cross dressing
tax inspector?

thank goodness no!
but facts disclosed
some
might find ugly
cemented
belonging in
the deepest core
