she takes
cyan marbles
on her blood lips
rolling
in her mouth
lolling
on her tongue
glossy clickings
glass on enamel
i may faint
fingers
to her mouth
one inside
to retrieve
one
two
three cyan marbles
cyan marbles
crunching in her palm
as her blood lips
search for mine.

Sheesh.

ReplyDeleteI just don't know how you can understand anyone talking with marbles in their mouth.
ReplyDeletewho says anyone is talking?
ReplyDeleteWell, how could they, with all those cyan marbles lolling around?
ReplyDeleteAnd don't they get in the way of other things one can do with the mouth? ;)
No, no, I'm with Ian. I totally thought you were going to faint with fear of choking.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Ian, too!
ReplyDeleteno sense of adventure, the lot of you.
ReplyDeleteHey! I take exception to that!
ReplyDeletethis is the weirdest discussion ever.
ReplyDeletepeople? isnt it about how one would touch a marble with one's tongue? that way you would do that would be way sexual?
I thought the marbles were just a metaphor - you know how poets roll.
ReplyDeleteyep. like marbles apparently...
ReplyDeleteI had marbles once, you know.
ReplyDeleteThen I lost them.
What were we talking about again?
never mind, sugar. here, have another bite of applesauce.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. You are delicious, my dear. So incredibly delicious.
ReplyDeletecan you come out to play? ;)
ReplyDeleteAnytime you like. You know where to find me.
ReplyDeleteI'm strictly going with literal marbles here - and thinking about plunging my finger into my daughters mouth to go after a penny - This poem takes me there. I can feel the marbles. I can also feel myself throwing them out the window.
ReplyDeleteFantastic visuals!
yikes, the whole choking thing is such a nightmare.
ReplyDeletethis is more like a dream!
