the word sex

Pushing the patch & blackberry button

soft hinges & muffles. Chewy trick, twist

tongue. A skin canopy. Starting with salt.

Vowel mouthed. Ending with flex & poise. A

gradient. Prickle. The Fitzgerald-Lorentz

contraction. Balance: Me/You/Back to Me.

Afterwards, air viola. Flakes of post-

combustion. A nicotinenoose. Guilt like

mescal. Husky lovepaste. Sandalwood

meshed with Vang Vieng. One grunt: Lived.

This thing we call word is not enough.
