necessitated
by the look
of your mouth.
redefinition of sensation,
my lover:
my eyes change color.
exquisite awkward words:
you understand them all,
doves, flowers,
other flowers,
thorns--
your lips displayed like fruit:
apples, pomegranates, plums.
ruby-red, wine, blood,
breath, saliva,
teeth.
let me redefine
your mouth.
