The Cheat

Even lost
I was a found creature,
Saturated in my own kind gestures

The long tongue
curved
and found host
in a quiet moment I’d kept hidden for years

This is the way we pray to each other
as if we don’t know what we want

as if we can’t give each other everything and keep walking through
