Before an unknowing audience
while I am hidden in a cloak of darkness
I will profess my desire for her
in the dark ways I am terrified
and desperate
to speak as myself
I will touch her
feel her body beneath my hands
her breath quicken
as she leans into me
She will not recoil in revulsion
she will respond in the same carnality
seducing as she is seduced
With my words in her voice
and her hands on me
the acted lie will merge with reality
creating a truth between our flesh
and on that
we can build a lifetime
