Dissection ONe

What's been written across our lips
in lines of ether
isn't to be whispered in hushed tones
as your fingers
leave maps across my hooded eyes.
Or in the heat of the blood
of wizened fruit
running think with the tumultuous
stillness of velvet.

Instead,

Slip into the creases
of my callused
corneas,
refracting

Faded color slides
into otherwise functioning
otherwise perfect
machinery
