A sticky-sweet mouth;
hot lollipop tongue.
Lonely and young,
my cinnamon-snap teeth
lock my jaw shut.
Your cool, smooth temple
pressed to my feverish forehead
like ice to a red, kissed-swollen mouth.
The scent of your body;
the straps of your backpack.
O, I would never stop kissing your arms if you asked.
Your tongue, which loses its guile and
can no longer grasp for a second meaning
whenever love slicks you pink.
Your tongue, which, for the other 364 days of the year, runs a constant spin cycle,
washing the world in blue.
