I lie the way I play with hair
In silence, round and round
twisting this and that
following the same path
again and
again

Like the red of candy canes
unseen and seen
round and round
breath reeking of
red

I lie the way I tell stories
added up setting and characters
details and happenings
plot twists that end in
cliffhangers

I lie the way I put on clothing
layer by layer
switching colors and combos
until finally I end up
clothed

I lie the way I draw breath
in and out
in gasps and sighs
and stops
smiles, frowns
constant
