The Paper Trail

Art by Uno Hoffmann

I have a request
that I don’t want in writing.
There should be
no evidence.

It is something I can’t
ask you for, but
need to say
regardless.

Others are watching
(reading), and our little
words are now so
circumspect.

I have a request
that I don’t want in writing.
Please come meet me
so that I may confess.
