lips.
I wonder about
what his lips taste like.
Are they sweet?
Salty?
Sour?
Do they taste like a summer's day,
or like the winter covered
in mantles of thick white.
Are they warm or cold?
Do they remind me of
the bloody lemons,
or the pure peaches from
The Garden of Xi Wangmu?
Or are they apples from
the Hespirides - the maidens.
I imagine his lips,
blushed in rosé fairy-dust,
those lips so soft and gentle,
on the broken blue lips of mine.
I see his lips,
plump and dampened with his saliva,
dancing away on the earth.
