J.D. DeHart- Two Poems

Confessional

I read the confessional letter
in the back of the magazine,
the account of a nightly travel
and blinking lights, then found
myself afraid for weeks after
until I realized the possibility
of half-truth and my ten year old
mind allowed other interpretations.



Tenets

one of his major tenets
is that life may exist on other
planets, telling us about the hovering
stars he saw above the mountains,
but how can you trust a man
full of so many exaggerations,
yet I do want to believe, somewhere
inside there is a desire
for broader horizons.
