Bearing Southbound

He spoke in velvet careful tones As if each word were china bones He called me dear he called me sweet His smile rehearsed his heartbeat neat She played along-oh what a fool The muse enrolled in finishing school He'd flinch from touch then praise her dress A critic draped in tenderness But one wet night she saw them there Beneath a lamp's forgiving glare Her would be love and him, that friend Their hands too close to just pretend They kissed a clumsy guilty thing Like altar boys rehearsing spring Their collars popped their breath half-held As if desire could be expelled They froze like actors caught mid-line His eyes met hers the grand design He stammered drunk I smiled indeed The truth slipped out all satin greed Now he walks straight all suit and nerve The model man with lips that swerve He speaks of god of art of men And blushing she asks, a friend? She'll keep their secret tight sublime Like arsenic wrapped up in rhyme Let them tremble prim and pure Their love a sadness they endure And me? I laugh, I always knew What perfect liars boys make too
