it’s like honey stuck to the sweetest places around your lips
but can’t taste in public.

a river washing away every word unspoken
stirring about new worries.

a perfect silence only interrupted
by a tender touch.

imaginary sails set high
on simple seas,

but a complex
lie

underneath
After Lorrie Moore's "Self Help" -- How to Be an Other Woman.
