what's not poetic about a syllable?

hanging on to every letter,
watching the upward,
and downward variation,
of your mildly crimson lips,
every halt,
every start,
is a different uncertainty,
every skip,
stutter,
flux,
is a coax,
odd gradients
twist,
and confuse,
they seduce,
perhaps queer,
in its zany humor.
syllables enveigle,
they're the genesis of perchance,
and watching one letter,
two,
three perhaps,
protrude from a movement,
is the most poetic thing to think about.
