Dry lips meet
lipstick, take
taste first, fruit
perhaps, or
subtle perfume as
mouth
acquaints mouth, all
the senses
bemusled, bumfuddled,
shaken awake by the
first tiny tip of
tongue
teasing teeth to open,
wrestle a while, get
to
know each other properly.
Liked the poem except 'each other properly ' last line. Seems priggish? Hard to get away from stock phrases, you meant 'deeply' but that is so jejune?
ReplyDeleteOh I like this! Great images...and I don't mind "get to know each other properly" as commented on above.
