Day 23: Imperfect Metaphors



In the mornings
When it’s too early for language
I see in your face
No words
But snapshots of other beautiful things
And I wake my mind by finding
Imperfect metaphors
Like
Your lips are like orange segments --
the shape is right
and the pushing of meat against skin ...
Segment is an ugly word
and you don’t taste like oranges ... 
but I want them now …
