Words: I swear…

Would I lie

to you

of all people?

Would I…

Could I

ever

lie to you?

All razor edges

and resonant

stillness

Floating

plush on cushions

begging

“Take me home

please…”

Child-like

seeking comfort

Nurture

Embrace

I thought it

appropriate

Apposite

Perfect

to place

round some

silken neck

Of course

you came to mind

Of course

Would I lie

to you

of all people?

Would I…

Could I

ever

lie to you?

Oh, you know me

(too well

it seems)

I tried to get

back home

intact

spectacular

crystal

nestled in

deep

dark pockets

I swear I was

bringing it to you

But you know me

and swallowing stones

I swear

it was all for you

I swear
