Happy Couple
devilish of smile,
we laugh with no change of tone
from straight-lipped frowns.
we hold hands
warm from hibernating
to exit each other’s icicle spiderwebs.
guile and guilt
wax to-and-fro
in the comings and goings
of mutual friends.
you caramelize what i am,
while i sugarcoat your torment--
no elegy or euphoria
in our sin-on-canvas kitsch.
we learn to share the other’s facade,
agile as geminis
in the quadrille of astrology signs.
pain, it comes round.
we entertain it and each other,
not looking too close,
and say hello again
every once in a while.
