Tanka 115
whispers of white lies
cling to the skirts of the dress
You bought it on sale
believing the flattery
of the dressing room mirror

Ice sculpture,
this story you told.
Chip away
the context.
Let the narrative dissolve
in its own good time.

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
I like the dialogue between the two poems as both are about veneers being removed to expose a harsh truth below.
I often find that when I write poems on the same day they reflect a certain mental geography. On this day you can see it was lying, or storytelling with a negative twist. I wonder now what prompted me to go this way on that day? I do not remember.
