The way you said my name, like it was heavy in your mouth yet worth its weight in vibrancy, worth the strain a single syllable caused an undulating tongue such as yours, that rippling pink squid beating a solid leather drum to carve me into existence, explode the air into a sweltering thrum, like you had licked the naked off my skin and melded   negative space and clammy saliva onto scaffolding lining the roof of your mouth, carved an arc of sound only I could fit through, you said my name   like you meant it, like you loved me, you knew what it meant and cherished it no less and because of that, so did I.

Kissing the Lipless
The way you said my name, like it was heavy in your mouth yet worth its weight in vibrancy, worth the strain a single syllable caused an undulating tongue such as yours, that rippling pink squid beating a solid leather drum to carve me into existence, explode the air into a sweltering thrum, like you had licked the naked off my skin and melded   negative space and clammy saliva onto scaffolding lining the roof of your mouth, carved an arc of sound only I could fit through, you said my name   like you meant it, like you loved me, you knew what it meant and cherished it no less and because of that, so did I.
