How hollow a mouth:
like hooves that sound, like coconut
shells,
like drinking roots.
Pluck at me, guitar-boy-fingers,
linger, more sultry than the moon
and lower
and closer;
dipped like violet lips
against the sunken sips of lullaby snippets.
Sing that neon-lit trip, sing
sing that ankle-bone moon down.
I love you,
I love you,
Ok or not,
Je t'aime.
