Two Lips

by Rachelle Linda Escamilla

 

I've faced lilac tulips towards french windows and like ears of small children to a sparkling story
theytheythey they bend they they perk. If we lay in my bed we can see tips tips sip sip sipping rain
sun through rectangles through dingy screen through the smell of green compost from mashed Korean
stink bugs. If you lay in my bed you can see tips of tulips sip sip sip in sun through geometric space of
dust and sun resting on my bed facing west. I've placed lilac tulips in a wine glass preserve life,
pop pop plurp plopped an aspirin in the bath and just watch! Watch them wither into small crusty bulbs
with brown streaks.

You take your dirty White hand and smear my brown breasts, you lick my dark nipples and I send my
eyes to watch these lips, lips, your lips to watch the two lips purse and separate. You place your fingers
into my vagina and my face bends towards Pittsburgh looking for the city lights but only finding an
empty empty street where they watch. Where they all watch.
