it means something
if it never meant
anything
to you

it means that she is not to be trusted
and that no one is

it means that fiction will always
be a wolf in realities cheap clothing

it means that
the warm tea of a memory
is nothing but sorcery

and you
and that
and he
and they
will never
surpass
the tendency
of mirage-ability

and that she should hold her heart closely
carefully
away

no matter how sweet the kiss of today
