Only my mouth taking you in， the greenery splayed deep green.
Within my mouth， your arm inserted， a stem of gestures， breaking gracefully.
Into each other we root arbitrarily， like bushes， silken， and guttural.
Palaver， we open for the thrill of closing， for the thrill of it： opening.
The night was so humid when I knelt on the steps， wet and cold， of prewar stone.
A charm bracelet of sorts we budded， handmade but brazen， as if organic.
I cannot imagine the end of my fascination， emblazoned but feather-white too.
The gold closure of this like a gold coin is， of course， ancient.
Why can't experience disseminate itself， be silken and brazen yet underwater？
A miniature Eiffel Tower， an enameled shamrock， a charm owned by its bracelet.
