In a breath that never dies
Lips, a sultry vapour spray
Time completes the exercise
Pasted onto yesterday


Bedded in the starlit skies
Wedded from the past cachet
Jetted onto sheets comprise
Letters in a tiny play


Expiration in disguise
'Cross a page's milky way
Image of an image, dries
Crackles, and it peels away


  Flush are secrets, hidden lies
  Backs of truths and alibis
