Shadowplay

He came
Promising nothing
Asking little
Secrets
Prone
To reinterpretation
Reentering negotiation.
All the promises
Made her come
Expecting
Their secret was impervious
To everything.

Prostrated
Prostituted
Constituted a 
Convoluted
Similitude.
Her fortitude
Circumvented by
Circumstance advocating
Castigation in
Castration.

Misunderstood as

Constituency
Consistency

Everything promised

By the sleight of hand
Making love an evil triumph.
