Succulent

"canine"..."canine"...
"bicuspid"...say "bi-cus-pid"
.
"molars"...aloud, say "mo-lars"
.
...go ahead...sink your teeth 
into the enameled words

use your tongue to roll 
them from cheek to cheek
feel them budding in your
mouth, the very words of 
your mouth sound rising 
from your jaw up to the
timpani of your ear and
into the heart, well ok,
the mind of you, your now

now say "succulent"
..."suc-cu-lent"
how nice the juices flow
the lush U...tangy T
..."suc-cu-lent"

once heard, a juicy word
forever remains 
inbrained in us
even if we haven't thought
that word for years...years
it'll come flowing back

"amatory".."am-a-tory"
"sparkle"..."pleasure"
"distinction".."moonlight"
..."hesitation"..."plenty"
"serendipity"..."beloved"

all the melody and memory
that each brings to now as 
it flows, vibrates according
its own sound vision..."cool"
