Pounding honesty

The apparition of faces in my life;

Unwanted connections coated in honey,

Meeting the standards I did not make.

Petals in a jar I have to fill with smiles,

But I'd rather put wet, black  memories in it,

And then break the jar with a pounding honesty.

(After Ezra Pound's In a Station of the Metro)
