Long Chapstick Poems

His chapstick soft lips 
Distracted me 
From the perverse taste 

Of stale cigarettes 
He inhaled 
Between every other word 

But it didn’t 
Make my sagacious heart 
Uneasy 

He was winsome 
With that throaty laugh 
After...

The stilled portrait tells of a past
A past where the painted girl in blue ran wild
Dandelions clutched in her small fists
A penny in a wishing well
Her ear pressed to a conch
Wanting
Hoping
Needing to know you really...

Fresh lavender, vibrant peonies, towering sunflowers, 
Mystery unnamed flowers, and a sweet young girl in the center of it all. 
You would think among all of the flowers 
Your smelling ability would be overwhelmed with...

Sometimes people ask me... What's in your purse...
So I tell them the best that I can...
Lipstick, chapstick, matchstick
What’s in your purse?
Billfold, change purse, money counter, and clip?

And Sameeha’s science club...

the announcer was quite sure of it

I’m fearing the sound of sirens 
Welcoming the sound of detachment

From inside out
Outside in 
From last nights drink to tomorrow nights...

There was nothing left for me to do but put on chapstick so I rubbed the soft 
mush into my lips with my head facing every corner of the abandoned 
restaurant—full of people.

Something's on my 
Tounge
Words
His taste
Gum

Something's on my
Back
Bag
You
An itch

Something's on my
Lips
Chapstick
Your lips
I bite them

Something's on my
Mind
Fixing this
Fixing that
Maybe not so much of that

Something's on my 
Glasses
Visions imparied
Your too close
Now your too far

Something's on my
Bed 
Looks like...

Come hither, Mister Delicious Sir.
Satiate my craving for saturating kisses.

Read these ready lips like romance fiction.
Practice your best parched desert depiction.

Slurp up this mist smorgasbord to savor
cherry chapstick and cinnamon disk's flavor.

Caress love's breath, pressed...
