—you hold on tight to the thing in your mouth
the common tongue of tongues
you melt and dissolve
rare things in your mouth
your choice if they're sweet or profound
a kiss to the lips involves more than just lips
foreign germs go searching through your mouth
you hold your love tighter
unaware of intruders
and smile onto lips that smile unto yours
their slick common tongue
slips into your mouth
