Tannin Laced Tongue

Tannin laced tongue
tasting the swell of water rich lips
singing hip sway nocturne
under overcast sky of burning want 

Night born hands
mapping routes of winding asphalt
silhouette burying eager body
to unearth fallen star scars in desert oasis 

Fingerprint invisible ink manuscript
pressed into glow of flesh
in hours clocks don’t chime
for a horizon that begs Dawn to keep her leave

E.A. O'Connell
