A Kind of Truth

What is more true?
A poem?
A story
from a diary?
I would choose a poem,
telling how things flowed,
how tears fell,
whose veins
appear upon the page.
Why they wept
or shouted,
and embedded in their song
the kind of truth
a stranger tells
in the nakedness of a glance,
that changes one forever.
