What She Knows

The most ringing endorsement
I can give
is that I found you worthy
(of: lying to
      lying beside
      lying under)

what more can you ask?
You,
        who asked
        so many times

        (indicated by x’s
        similarly representing
        dead eyes
        treasure
        kisses)

what I was thinking—
the answer most often
was some form

of lying.
