The ResultRuth WilliamsLong crowded syllables jockey the mouth like summer oranges. A cultural liaison wherein we do not wear suits, but vowels. Unfamiliar gestures communicate: orange, small, round. You fill my mouth. I have a cut lip and a horse hoof tooth of sting. Your finger splits my tongue a third eye, a double-fold to lick. To regard a gaze is to other it is to lick it in a swirl. I'm conflating desire and your language, but not saying it in your language. If the lust object is not you. If the lust object is. Then. Then, I mistake every man for Asian.
