Smear


Denial:  drawing with
dark india ink
making all opaque
indelibly

then too late
warm, wet warning
down along
your sliding hand.

Denial is like drawing
with black india ink.
It covers all things
perfectly, indelible
- until you feel
that warm, wet warning
on one edge of your hand.

I looked it up - "india" should not be capitalized in this usage   .
