hidden .in. the trees
blushing
         cheeks are             barely seen
in snow filled moonlight
m e l t i n g in our heat

  layers peeled   to reveal all
a man is    ...         supposed to be.
reaching and seeking with closed eyes
but o pen lips           and hearts
any and all geography now learned.
careless words   f
                             l
                               o
                                  w   out
like strong cigarette smoke.



a new
       secret hides
with their            silent, whispering

lies.
