If you could grasp
My innuendo
Would we
Lie down together
Captive in
The licentious swell
Of our undressed egos
*
If you understood
The fragility
Of my trust
Would you seek
Favor over sentiment?
*
If I heeded the rumors
Would I turn away
Before your impropriety
Deadened my spirit?
Or would I cast
My thirsting heart
Piecemeal
Into the sediment?
