know that I use
that word
in that way
only for you
easy
really
to unpack
the corny lines
leak out a babe
like some throwaway term
rabbit from the hat
oh! know how it's done
not what we're used to
this submergence
into a dream made real
pool of pepper and fizz
sunrise-sky eyes
watermelon-red lips
our version
of four letters
hear it tick
in our blood
the way we
taste our names
