hope in heart
hope won’t rot
rot on skin
rot in sink
sink down slow
sink and rise
rise like fire
rise of hill
hill of dreams
hill of you
you and I
you are sweet
sweet and sour
sweet songs slide
slide past oysters
slide clipped hair
hair of possum
hair in shower
shower has drain
shower on cloud
cloud loves stars
cloud shapes form
form of fancy
form to praise
praise your lips
praise and cry
cry like babe
cry or learn
learn hand contours
learn lizard lips
lips together
lips and love
love is you
love is blue
blue milkshake froth
blue green fabric
fabric of dreams
fabric and skin
skin sweats salt
skin grazes lip
lip piercing no
lip biting down
down to the basement
down onto grass
grass spikes feet
grass grows green
green eyes smiling
green lips sparkle
sparkle …
smiling ...
