How does a lie taste
after it leaves the tongue and
floats past lips?
Does it thicken, sweeten, and
caramelize like vindication?
Or does it quickly evaporate
and leave in its wake a thin
layer of salt
like tears or a nervous sweat?
I’ve always licked my lips after
doling deception…
I taste only skin.
A kiss--
Your lips have much more to sample
