truths I will someday realize

I could make this
easier on her,
gently slipping euphemisms
into her pelvic region

the way honesty
can never penetrate


and I watched her cry--
from the sidelines;

your eyes lit on fire
by the burning embers of optimism
between her fingertips

but I held no sympathy because her cheeks
are filled with Shakespearean malapropisms
