Lips
A Poem
Published in

Lips once desired
flap in the wind
uncoupled
ripened, soft
unpicked
in jeopardy of rotting
Their sweetness is seen through the grapevine
but not touched
trembling in isolation
First base seems miles away
Their last triple was four seasons ago
Now they can’t even work their way back
into the batter's box
No chance to make out
They hope to be read
in desperation
Blurbs aren’t resulting in sales
Authors of romance denied source material
Made tense
by the jaws of life
but aching to be locked
Lips
once desired
Thank you for reading.
