I want to hear a secret

     I want

   to hear

  a secret

      your secret

the one nestled in the

  back of your brain

                 (way back)

which is causing you to

    hes

     it

      ate

now and then;

causing me to lean in

    LIFT

   eyebrows

because it is thought

    by one person

           (me)

that facial expressions in the

   addressee

            (me)

will help pull out

   in-form-(al)-ation

from the speaker

             (you)



but,

  instead,

         the words creep back down

   your throat

their tickling legs causing you to

         (cough)

   in the silence



and your hand covers your

  mouth,

sealing that

    vital

  wonderful

       mysterious

secret

   in your untouchable

         body.
