About This Poem

 

"The word that one of the lovers has made up might be effable, which really isn't made up at all—it's just gone out of use. Effable sounds like an imprecation, a word that stems from precari, meaning 'to pray.' One likes to think that lovers enjoy a lot of praying, not with their words but with their bodies."
—Mark Yakich
