lips, gums, teeth, tongue,
such is my oral fixation
Teeth click,
desire sinking into flesh
to nibble on thoughts
They hide coy beneath the lips
baring themselves on occasion
thick changeable lips
wrap themselves around words and cigarettes
nervously wet by the tongue
stretch into well-meaning smiles
the tongue lashes and licks,
the ever touching, every tasting, ever mocking
caretaker of the mouth
it caresses the gums
teasing the sharp, the broken
I want to chew on your brain,
mull it over in my mouth,
ideas catching on the tip of my tongue
swallow and digest
resist teeth biting tongue
and the words spill out
dripping down my chin
youtube reading after the jump
