"Diving into the Wreck" by Adrienne Rich

Pontus' Pearl

Thoughtless aristocrats masquerading as thieves
An unforgetful love camouflaging as hatred
The pending cloaked as their past
Inevitable betrayel hidden behind a trust
Unspoken words masked as honesty

Secrets in disguise

Seasonal experiences

Observing the treacherous white snow, as it yet again masquerades like our most welcome friend, a friend whose beauty blinds us with a sense of comfort, concealing the painful reality beneath the deceiving veil, blatantly and unremorsefully hiding the true colours of our city.
