Black market
where my lips found purchase
not so loathsome
a fair exchange—
salt shadow for
brackish appetite—
you to your self interest
and I to my own
indulgences, in trade
as negotiated in advance
over our rival loves
to bitter indigestion
kept like an afterthought
on the tongue's numb tip
for the tax deduction.
