Finding Words In Odd Places

There was a poem caught between your lips.

I tasted it with my tongue as we kissed.

The words were soft and yielding

as if they were waiting to find the right page.

I took them home that night and tried

to remember them as best I could from

memory. Everyone knows memory

can be an unreliable thing. In our case

the words struck closer to the truth than

could have been expected.
