Lily Tierney, April 2016

Lie

A trap set
with a smile
offering kindness
and understanding.

Naivety
a dense fog
hand is
invisible.

Instrument
of lies, deceit
the snake
coils around.

Truth is
sucked out
another victim
claimed.

Lily Tierney: Currently living in Florida with intervals of sunshine and rain.
