Admission

The worst secret you know
should be as taboo as admitting to your mum
that you imagined her face
when you were born, and wondered if she split.

The worst thing you have ever done
should be kept for those you fall in love with.

Embed it in their eyelids, let it glow tomato red
then fuck them again before they understand
what a moral crime your ego is.

If the worst thing you have ever thought, is
God, I wish I could hold her jaw during a blow job
just to feel myself against such a thin strip of skin,
start admitting yourself for safety checks.
