More in Cats with Opposed Thumbs, Chalices of Mucus, and Several other Oddities to Avoid Whilst Poeting

bold lies and strong words

The clatter of "Stay,"  whispered
from bent knee on unbended linoleum tile


The unwitting spew of "I love -- you," promised
with no shadow of remorse beneath florescent light

A promiscuous "You're beautiful," emphasized
like blush on the apple of young unwrinkled cheeks

All told as one homily without questions;
only tears, joy and uncited scriptures.

This is how she was trapped in a holy yes
in a prison of unfinished fairie tales
