i will not hold you
to thick promises made
in secret compartments
dark
and full
unless the world somehow expanded within
and we found our feet
touching shyly, surprised to be
bare
and smooth.
i will not hold you
to sweet declarations made
in imaginary courtrooms, oaths sworn
indignant
and false
unless my dreams flew out-of-mind
and beat this reality down
so that lips and fingertips would flow
fast
and sparkling.
