truth.

telling the truth and telling your own truth are two radically different phenomena.

I have the truth written upon my wrist, each stroke, each dot of niqqudot, forming the whole of the word permanently inked.

the word that can animate life, truth itself strong enough to protect us from those who would seek to harm us.

don't feel; don't think; don't trust.

and then with one brief swipe of an eraser, or or a hand wet down with water, a block of clay added.

and truth becomes death, and aids no one.
