my lips are wilting, like the rose i keep
pressed between my heart and my memory,
parched as parchment that has no words or ink,
nor anyone to read it (nor would eyes
be so bold); for my lips are dangerous:
they speak with an open blood wound- they glare
like the yellowed orbs of a gang of wolves,
and snarling too, my lips hunger for rare
rare love; to pass parchment again, with you.
