split

The philtrum
divides
the thought
from
the word

the word
from
the sound

A finger across it
knuckle arced
stops quest
shuns and
response

The mouth Os
and invites but

not really.

The tongue
is a snake
in a hole. It pokes out only

o
kay
shun
a
lee

to taste
the air

To answer
is to talk faster to remember names
little nooks
of hair
tufts of hiding
spesh shill
piece
of liquid
shaft of skin

doc you meants
and
repetish
shun

Directive

direct      shuns I’ve
not translated

to act shun

Say
this twice
for
magical 3 does
not translate

when a fill
trum
splits a face.
