Veils are a good alibi
for not looking eye-to-eye
strategic indifference
to the un-pliable lot
chilling glances, icy sheaths
translucent non-acceptance
weather becomes an alibi
to manage the layers
of fear beneath
apparent condescension
Veils are a good alibi
for not looking eye to eye

Brava! Excellent piece, Reena.
