Not the Live Oak, or stump of it.
Not the old Chevy in the back lot
chassis thrumming with yellow jackets.
Not the grand façade’s slice-of-cake smile,
rugs rolled up & propped.
Not the criminal fireplace, black-jawed,
singe feathering the flocked wallpaper.
Not the labial pink davenport unsprung
your hand deep in its ticking:
Nothing doing. Nothing plump.
Did you enjoy the the artible “Wax Lips” from Karyna McGlynn on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
