Mouthpiece
for the body’s instrument.
Its silence is another language.

Mountain peak.
It makes its own
wet weather.

Mouse-pink
& sensitive as a newborn
through old age.

Missed bit
of a continent submerged
in the unconscious.

Mouthpiece.
The scuba diver
can’t speak.

  1. Riddle

    Two mountains and the valley between.
    Two hands and a heart.

    Two lips and a throat
    singing an old tune.

    A small hungry mouth
    clamped on the nipple

    as if life depended on it.
    Life depends on it.
