Cracked
lips
Ridged
sore
Broken
By
the drying air
A
minor bit of bloodshed
Tiniest
amount
Escapes
the valleys formed
Along
this ravaged route
A
Bridge, chipped and frail
Connecting
voice
To
the driest drift of air
A
tender application
Smooth
daubs of Vaseline
Form
an even spread
From
left to right,
Smothering
Glistened in freshest glimmer
Lips smacking together
Pucker-kiss-stare
In the mirror
As if upon the stage
Angles
Angles
Everywhere
