shone me something


squinty little eyes on the shine, in that shine. 
my face is turning, growing into something
it's a little destruction planet. 
I blow out my teeth with my words
the words trip out my throat & 
the words tongue my tongue.
the sun tongues me
and my teeth explode 
and I gum the words for the rest of time
and there are palatal licks of sound
and alveolar outbursts
and labial laments.
but those dentals be damned, a toothless attempt
at getting across any desperate points

So all that's left is the voiceless acceptance
the gutterally giving in
the fricitive finality.

Take my words but
spare my sight. I want to die with memories in me
of the very things words don't do
glitter
glow
gush
weep
words might, but sight happens better,
how would they ever catch up

a poem for lips

from crepuscular orations

the last kiss, the mouths & lips.
those lips.
his huge lips smacking for no reason.
his lips... his mediocre hypochondria
on my lips, on my genitalia, on my beings.
Your lips & your height aren't going to be enough for me.
Your lazy lips letting themselves be,
his lovely full lips and curly dark hair.
Where mouths biting and lips everywhere,
like the flat lips of a fish
but what if I reached across the bar there and touched his lips...
This is lips are awesome, oh, why don't I have thick, full lips just for this purpose...
using my mouth and tongue and lips as they're meant to be used.
My mouth and lips and tongues over his,
my lips are sealed.
What's with the seven little kisses on my lips?
Lips in slight smile.
Lovely full lips parted,
his breath I dislike and his lips are soft and formless.
His lips want to make someone fall in love with him.
He uses lips with what they are and tongue sparingly.
He kissed me very softly on the lips and I saw animated triangles.
