Places That Are Difficult To Find

I don't want
to call your skin
transparent -
it is less glass
than tracing paper.

But I do imagine
finding things
in your veins -
dogs or candy bars,
such things as we find
in clouds.

But let's forget
the familiar -

What can you tell me
about the brownish corners
of my lips, that look
like the syrup residue
of a hot chocolate?
