Words At Play
You are reading something I wrote
tongue in cheek,
with bits of truth pasted here and there,
and wrote me back something
to keep me on the edge of my chair.
Revenge?
Turnabout?
Or just your way
of wetting my whistle
so these lips
will be moist
and red
and softly swollen
as a promise
to your kiss?
