Palm Reader

you should speak to me
me with the casual look
cornered precisely where your gates dim

offering the palm readings
defining the throbbest part of your life
where fired guns foot your chested artillery

commanding ever so bravely
calling your singers
your delicate contradictions

sir – do you now feel ashamed
your lines fuel this poem
it’s menacing crevices denting skins

threatening the credulous man within
sir – don’t leave
it’s really not that late

are you still afraid
don’t be frightened 
invite your soul

let me read your fate
amusing your early life
to reach out and strip your heart

until you become madly in love with your mouth
tasting  your free unrestricted faith evermore
