Silent breaths
exhaled by your mouth
Gentle sighs satin smooth
Temples ache with fret,
Wet lines run south

Hear how they seethe
against argent insides
Eroding ribbed ivory cages;
Hear how they relish
dulcet thumps mellowed to a halt

Hear how they cherish
the ebbing, dying din
Within alabastrine skin
