Watch your unchecked words
For they run rampant in the mind
Of their recipient
Truth trundled beyond the lips
Inadvertently revealing
Fragments of your reality
Being decoded
Translated
Interpreted
By the affected
The dejected
The cryptologist
Of your unintentional utterances
Taken for much more than you meant
Or perhaps
Exactly what you said
Forward with communication
Clear as mud
Wash the windows
Allow transparency
Steeling the unique relationship
Grounded in granite
With clarity of gentle honesty
