Mouth

 

Within this entanglement

lies the cave

of kisses

and lies;

warm enchantments,

sayer of soothes

and fiery curses.


Here lie

embrionic bedfellows

in a nuclear womb;

this is a nested disguise

for barb or encouragement,

the ambush of pique.


Here lie

the gentle exaggerations

of love,

the flirtations of truth

and occasionalities

taken at the flood

which lead beyond.


Here, in quietude,

lie possibilities

and fathomless

depths

beyond the reach

of speech.
