Before Mourning


"Before Mourning"



Dance? she said
let the moves
grip your mind
bury the words
burning roads
on your tongue
in a deep kiss
tattoo mine 
instead

a promise forewarning
I give this to thee 

I will take you 
before morning 

amuse
mystery

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

the mind griped words dug up tongues scorched a mint passes between sealed lips and melts
