let's divulge our flippant secrets in screaming loose voices over the tops of the buildings where they'll
bounce and fall to the sidewalk
maybe on someone's head
our secrets will penetrate their skulls and they'll know us:
strangers becoming friends.
something in us flickers, keening warm red
we hold our breath and wonder
will it
die?
